Not because of any righteous deeds we had done but
because of his mercy, he
saved usthrough
the bath of rebirthand renewal by the holy Spirit, whom he richly poured out on us through
Jesus Christ our savior, so
that we might be justified by his grace and become
heirs in hope of eternal life. I want you to insist on these
points, that those who have believed in God be careful to
devote themselves to good works; these are excellent and beneficial
to others.
James 1:22
Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding
yourselves.
