Faith” and “The Faith”

H.J. VineFrom the days of Abel right on to the present time there have been men of faith, but it was not till Christ came that the faith was “delivered to the saints.” Previous to that, we are told, they were “kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed” (Gal. 3:23).

H.J. VineRomans 5:10-11; 11:13-15; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21 Four times, beloved, we have “reconciliation,” as such, spoken of in the New Testament, and the very fact that it crowns the first great division of the Epistle to the Romans, shows its importance.

Does Islam teach salvation by works?

Generally speaking, there are only two methods of salvation in all the religions of the world: grace and works.
