Saved by FAITH or by WORKS? (Romans 2:5-11)

Are we saved by grace or by our deeds? If by grace, does that mean we can live any way we please and still be assured of our reward in heaven? Dr. Mark Ellis, Adjunct Professor at Grace School of Theology, joins Mark Rae on the Grace Cafe and gives historical context to Romans 2 that sheds light on the heart of this scripture, providing important insight on justification, judgment, and Christian morality that is still relevant to us today.

“But in accordance with your hardness and your impenitent heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who ‘will render to each one according to his deeds’: eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek; but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For there is no partiality with God.”
Romans 2: 5-11
