Your answer, "Faith alone", is not correct.
The correct answer to
What is required for justification?
is
Both faith and works
as shown by
James 2:20-24
which is
- KJV
- [20] But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? [21] Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? [22] Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? [23] And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. [24] Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
- NIV
- [20] You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless {Some early manuscripts dead}? [21] Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? [22] You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did. [23] And the scripture was fulfilled that says, "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness," {Gen. 15:6} and he was called God's friend. [24] You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
