If you look carefully at Paul’s writings, you will notice that he never says that our righteousness comes from faith alone—only that it comes from faith apart from works.

Might need to wait for gpt5 for it to go more deeply into the topic :)

There is justification before God and justification before men. To be justified before God requires faith alone, to be justified before men requires faith and works. Justification before God = entrance into heaven, however, so works don't matter for salvation.

If we want Christians fellowship on this Earth, and rewards in heaven, it is good to do work.
