We are not saved by faith alone

Hebrews 11 verse 16 does not say faith ALONE. So we need faith to please God. It doesn't say that faith is ALL we need to please Him. I believe that verse 100 percent. But I do not believe that it says what you are trying to make it say. Yes, God is love, and we do need to love. You make a good point that God is love, so that's why love is greater. Yes, you're right that was the greatest act of love, and I am eternally grateful to Him for doing that for me. But that still doesn't mean that we are saved by faith alone. I took it out of context? Oh really? Well, read the verses before and after it. They only suport my argument. Here: verses 15 to 26 "What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is ill-clad and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead. But some one will say, "You have faith and I have works." Show me your faith apart from your works, and I by my works will show you my faith. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe--and shudder. Do you want to be shown, you shallow man, that faith apart from works is barren? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he offered his son Isaac upon the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by works, and the scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness"; and he was called the friend of God. You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the harlot justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead." That last verse particularly shows that faith without works will not save us. If that passage doesn't mean that faith AND works are necessary for salvation then tell me what it means. No, I have been a Catholic my whole life. Where in the bible does it say that Jesus will step up and say that? Right he won't force us to come to heaven if we choose not to. And the way to accept that gift is by grace, through faith and works. Thanks for correcting me. I do mean 6:15. Why do you think forgiving each other won't save us? The bible that we have to forgive others to be forgiven. We can't get into heaven unless our sins are forgiven. Nothing else will save you? Really? Well Jesus doesn't seem to agree: Matthew chapter 19 verses 16 to 19 "And behold, one came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?" 17. And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." 18. He said to him, "Which?" And Jesus said, "You shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, 19. Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." 20. The young man said to him, "All these I have observed; what do I still lack?" 21. Jesus said to him, "If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." In conclusion, the bible clearly teaches that faith alone will NOT save us.
