HOW ARE WE
SAVED?
● According to Aristotle, happiness consists in
achieving, through the course of a whole
lifetime, all the goods — health, wealth,
knowledge, friends, etc. — that lead to the
perfection of human nature and to the enrichment
of human life. This requires us to make choices,
some of which may be very difficult.
Hedonist
■ a person who believes that the
pursuit of pleasure is the most
important thing in life; a pleasure-
seeker.
 EPHESIANS 2 : 8 - 9
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that
not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

9 
Not of works, lest any man should boast.

DEAD DEMONIC VAIN SAVING

FAITH FAITH FAITH FAITH
1. DEAD
FAITH
 • Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being
alone. (JAMES 2:17).

• People who have dead faith truly do have actual and

real faith. But their faith is inactive and useless. It
is not accomplishing what God wants their faith to
accomplish in this life.
2. DEMONIC
FAITH
• Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest
19 

well: the devils also believe, and tremble (JAMES

2:19)

• Their “faith” is intellectual.

3. VAIN FAITH
 MATTHEW 7: 21 - 23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the

21 

kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my

Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me,
‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out
demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your
name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew
you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
• Not everyone who says that Jesus is Lord of their
lives will enter the kingdom of heaven on the day of
His return. Only those who actually do the will of
God will be permitted entry.
4. SAVING
FAITH
• JOHN 3:16
For God so loved the world that He gave His one
and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall
not perish but have eternal life.
EPHESIANS 2:8–10
8 
For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For
we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do
good works, which God prepared in advance for us to
do.
• You are not saved because of any good works you
ever did. But you were made to do good works and
point people to Christ.
• God prepared many good things for you to do. As you

live by saving faith, you will supernaturally produce

good fruit, works, and evidence that you are no

longer a slave to sin.

WHAT KIND OF FAITH
DO I HAVE?
 MATTHEW 5:16
Let your light so shine before men,
that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.
