It is written: "Faith without deeds is dead." Yet so many people insisting that your work cannot save you.

Can dead faith save you?

One could also interpret it as if you are truly saved than the bi product is good deeds displaying a transformed individual. You could say that if you do not serve others than you are not truly saved.

Jesus says "if you love me keep my commandments". Keeping Jesus' commandments is requirement for salvation, according to Jesus.

His followers with God's help. Isn't that obvious?

:lol
i meant, is it you doing the deeds (the flesh) or Christ IN you doing them - just curious as to how you would answer. :)

I did just answer, but I will reiterate differently.

No one can do anything good. All good things comes from God. If we are obedient to Jesus, it is the Holy Spirit helping us to do the will of God.

Does that clear it up?
