we ARE indeed saved by Grace/Mercy ..
because Jesus did not have to give mankind a way out ..
it in no way means we do not also have to be doers of the words and merely hearers ..
there are many many scriptures that make that clear ..
if people want to follow Luther's short cut and fall short (like in Mat 25) then I don't feel sorry for them .. because they would rather ignore scripture for Luther's stupid interpretation of one or two verses ..
