Faith Q&A › Metropolitan Youssef › Our Lord and the Faith

2 questions

• QDo we get to heaven by faith alone, (John 3:16, Romans 3:28, Acts 13:39, and Ephesians 2:8-9) or by both works and faith?
• QThe Holy Book of Ephesians 2:8-9 is often used by protestants to prove that faith alone saves and not works. I was wondering what our interpretation of this verse is.
