Some men keep on doing good. Even though salvation is based entirely on God's act in Christ, we save ourselves by a series of actions (see Philippians 2:12; Acts 2:40; 1 Corinthians 15:58; 2 Peter 1:10). Man divides himself into two groups: those who obey God; and those who obey the Devil. Faith is action (see James 2:22).
