There has always been and will always be the controversity about works. The
fact is that there is nothing we can do (works) that can obtain salvation
for us. Only by the grace of God is there salvation for anyone. However,
to say that God doens't require faithfulness of His saved is to deny the
Scriptures. No, I didn't work for my salvation but I will obey Him who
saved me. If you call it works, so be it, I call it obedience.
