                                             Sermon Notes 
                       The Balance Between Faith and Works
 
                                          Ephesians 2:4-10
4But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. (NKJV)
 
I.   Works alone cannot save you.  (God won't weigh our deeds for salvation)
        ( Phil 2:12)
 
 
 
II.  Belief alone cannot save you.   (James 2:14-20)
 
 
 
 
III.  Our Works should be an outgrowth of our Faith.
 
 
     a. Grace is not an excuse to sin.  (Romans 6:1-4)
 
 
     b. Our actions are the fruit of our faith.  (1 Cor. 6:18-20)
