Is Faith a “Work”?
Faith is not a work according to Scripture. Rather, it is a determination to trust in God’s gracious provision of salvation through the atoning sacrifice of his Son, Jesus.

Salvation by Grace
Salvation, as it is taught in Scripture, excludes any possibility of boasting by the one who is saved. We must not think that our own works have earned us eternal life.
The Reformed Order of Salvation
The Reformed view of the order of salvation states that when a person believes on Jesus as the Messiah, it is because he has already been born again by God. Or, as it is often put more briefly: regeneration precedes faith.
Are You Reformed?
For some, being reformed is simply another way of saying that you hold to the Calvinist view of salvation, believing what are often called the “doctrines of grace.” Others take reformed to mean that you hold to one of the confessions written and approved by traditionally reformed churches.
