My question is: will I be saved if I have undergone a changed life and producing the fruit of good works (whatever that is) but I have no faith? If not, why not?
---------------
The Scriptures make it clear the answer is
no.(Hebrews 11:6) Moreover, without faith it is impossible to please God well, for whoever approaches God must believe that he is and that he becomes the rewarder of those earnestly seeking him.
(John 3:16) “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.
(John 3:36) The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life;
the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
If not, why not?
------------What needs to be understood is the ''good works'' need to be what Jesus directs , not what we choose for ourselves.
(Matthew 7:21-23) “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. Many will say to me in that day: ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And then I will declare to them: ‘I never knew you! Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness!’
