It is the conviction of some that faith by itself, and in fact together with the adjunct "without works," saves, when yet it is most clearly evident from the Lord's Word that the tree is known by its fruit [Matt. 7:20, Luke 6:44], also that love toward the neighbor is the main point of the law [Lev. 19:18, Matt. 19:19, 22:39, Mark 12:31, Luke 10:27], besides other passages that show clearly that faith is not to be separated from works, and that faith has not life in it if there are no works of charity, which are alive from charity and secondarily, from faith.
