Does God reward our actions or our faith?
"For by grace you have been saved through faith... not a result of works, so that no one may boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9
The Bible presents a complex view on rewards. Ephesians emphasizes salvation through faith, not deeds. Yet, in Matthew 16:27, Jesus states He will reward each according to their works. This raises the question: Are we rewarded for our faith or our actions?
