Part 4 of THE OTHER GOSPEL Series by eFireTemple The Most Important Question in Christianity How is a person saved? This is not a peripheral question. It is the question that Christianity orients itself around. Empires have been built on the answer. Wars have been fought over it. The Reformation — the event that split Western Christianity into Catholic and Protestant — was, at its core, a dispute about exactly this. And the New Testament gives two different answers, from two different voices, that cannot be reconciled without forcing one of them to mean something it does not say. What Paul Taught Paul's answer is clear, consistent, and stated repeatedly across his letters. Romans 3:28: "For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law." Galatians 2:16: "Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ.
