Faith is not the Root, but only the Seed Sown

[robert derrick]

Faith alone is dead; therefore, the doctrine that faith is the root of salvation is false, Which is then used to say the root is separate from doing the word.

Faith is only the seed sown, which is done so all over earth by hearing.

Until we obey the truth, the seed is dead, being alone without root.

Until we recieve Christ to obey Him, The Son does not shine, nor does the Spirit rain down upon the ground, that the seed may take root.

And if the root be holy, then so are all the branches, not some branches good and some branches evil.

Hearers only is the seed that does not take root, being dead faith alone.

The root of salvation is doing the word, not hearing and agreeing only.

Here we go, salvation by works!

The apostle James based his words on the principle, we don't work to get saved, we work because we are saved.

In other words, James is saying that our works prove our salvation.
