Answering Questions Through The Holy Qur'an: Is salvation obtained by grace through Faith alone or also by works, following the law? Do Christians have a license to sin?

Is salvation obtained by grace through Faith alone or also by works, following the law? Do Christians have a license to sin?

5:68 Say, "O People of the Book, you are not on anything until you stand firmly by the Torah and the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord. And that which has been revealed to you from your Lord will surely increase many of them in rebellion and disbelief. So do not grieve over the disbelieving people.

(Those who have faith/belief, they follow the law. Someone who denies the law, they are denying the Scriptures, so they are disbelievers (aka they do not have faith/belief))(Allah knows best)

4:123 Neither your desire nor the desire of the People of the Book. Whoever does evil will be recompensed for it, and he will not find besides Allah any protector or any helper.

(Some Christians say that they would be saved by grace through faith alone, regardless of their deeds, while according to James 2:14-26 “faith without works is dead”; according to Matthew 5:17, Jesus confirmed the Law, “do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them”; according to Matthew 23:2-3 “the teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach.”; according to Acts 15:5 and 15:20, early Christians followed the Law, etc.)(The sentence “by grace you have been saved, through faith” (Ephesians 2:8) was said by Paul, not by Jesus. The early Christians followed the law, but Paul opposed Jesus by preaching that you do not have to follow the law)(See the link below “Jesus vs. Paul”)(Allah knows best)

10:9 Indeed, those who believed and did good deeds, their Lord (will) guide them by their faith. Underneath them rivers will flow in Gardens of Delight.

25:70 Except he who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then for those Allah will replace their evil deeds with good ones. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

19:30 He said, "Indeed, I am the servant of Allah. He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet. 19:31 And He (has) made me blessed wherever I am and has enjoined (upon) me the prayer and zakah (charity), as long as I am alive … 19:34 That was Jesus, the son of Mary, a statement of truth about which they dispute.

4:40 Indeed, Allah does not wrong (as much as) an atom’s weight. And if there is a good He doubles it and gives from near Him a great reward.

5:72 They certainly disbelieve who say, "Indeed Allah - He is the Messiah, the son of Mary." While the Messiah said, "O Children of Israel, worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Indeed, he who associates partners with Allah, then surely Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode will be the Fire. And there will be no helpers for the wrongdoers.

(Even if someone was to be saved through faith/belief alone, according to Verses 5:72 and 5:17, trinitarian Christians are disbelievers, so they do not have the “faith/belief” to be saved. It is also said that Paul was trinitarian)(Allah knows best)

5:66 And if they had stood firmly by the Torah and the Gospel and what was revealed to them from their Lord, surely they would have eaten from above them and from beneath their feet. Among them is a moderate community, but many of them - evil is what they do.

(Jesus did not abrogate the Law, but confirmed it (Matthew 5:17))(Allah knows best)

2:94 Say, "If the home of the Hereafter with Allah is exclusively for you, and not for others of mankind, then wish for death, if you are truthful."

2:80 And they say, "Never will the Fire touch us except for a numbered days." Say, "Have you taken a covenant from Allah, so Allah will never break His Covenant? Or do you say against Allah that which you do not know?"

40:40 Whoever does an evil, then he will not be recompensed but the like thereof; and whoever does righteous (deeds), whether male or female, while he is a believer, then those will enter Paradise, in which they will be given provision without account.

54:42 They denied Our Signs / Verses, all of them, so We seized them (with) a seizure (of the) All-Mighty, (the) Powerful One. 54:43 Are your disbelievers better than those, or for you (is) an exemption in the Scriptures? 54:44 Or (do) they say, "We (are) an assembly helping (each other)?" 54:45 Soon (their) assembly will be defeated, and they will turn (their) backs.

4:95 Not equal are those among the believers who sit, except those who are disabled, and those who strive in the way of Allah with their wealth and their lives. Allah has preferred in rank those who strive with their wealth and their lives to those who sit. And to all Allah has promised the best. And Allah has preferred those who strive over those who sit, with a great reward,

16:50 They fear their Lord above them, and they do what they are commanded.

2:67 And when Moses said to his people, "Indeed, Allah commands you to slaughter a cow." They said, "Do you take us in ridicule." He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from being among the ignorant."

(Prophets were commanded to do things; you have to follow the commandments, lest you become a disbeliever)(Allah knows best)

37:102 Then when he reached working with him, he said, "O my son, indeed, I have seen in a dream that I am sacrificing you, so look what you see." He said, "O my father, do what you are commanded. If Allah wills, you will find me of the patient ones."

2:249 Then when Saul set out with the forces, he said, "Indeed, Allah will test you with a river. So whoever drinks from it then he is not of me, and whoever does not taste it then indeed, he is of me, except whoever takes in the hollow of his hand." Then they drank from it except a few of them. Then when he crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said, "We have no strength today against Goliath and his troops." Those who were certain that they would meet Allah said, "How many by Allah’s permission has a small company overcome a large company. And Allah is with the patient ones."

9:49 And among them is he who says, "Permit me and do not put me to trial." Surely, into trial they have fallen. And indeed, Hell will surely surround the disbelievers.

91:11 Thamud denied by their transgression,

(Christians deny the faith (religion) by their transgression, so Christians do not even have the faith, nor works, when they disobey God)(Allah knows best)

33:29 But if you desire Allah and His Messenger and the Home (of) the Hereafter, then indeed, Allah has prepared for the good-doers among you, a great reward."
