The foundation is repentance from dead works.
Repentance means to turn from, okay, to change your mind or to change direction.
And so instead of dead works being their hope to get them into heaven, you know, the things
that people do every day and every week, think about the Catholics that go through all these
dead rituals and doing this and chanting and going through beads.
All those dead works that they do, kneeling in front of idols and lighting candles and
so forth, things that God did not command.
You know, we've got to turn from that and put our faith in Jesus Christ to be saved.
That's foundational.
Faith, not works.
Turn from works and turn to faith.
Okay, that's what the Bible's teaching here, as a foundational doctrine.
