[QUOTE="anon77777, post: 75929276, member: 434482"] I don't mean any offense, but this is just rhetoric. You're not explaining how or why the faith actually saves, and what it even means to be saved. This is just word salad. Let us look at the quote from St. Paul: "being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:" let's pick this apart. "being justified". "justified" means "declared or made righteous in the sight of God" according to a quick google definition. "by his grace". As far as I know, God's grace is like "God acting in/through us" "through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus". This part I just don't understand. Could you explain what this verse means? Also, can you give a definition of "salvation" because I have this idea that salvation is overcoming of sin by loving and striving for the Good, but I don't understand what Christians mean when they use the term.
