He had faith that God would do what He said He would do, and this faith was imputed to him as righteousness, by which he was justified before God. He obeyed the command of God and by his works was justified before God, for his works were what proved his faith in God, just as the works of the believer are what prove his faith in God. Therefore, like Abraham, we are saved by our faith and works. We are saved by faith alone, but the faith which saves is never alone.-Ed. As a Reformed missionary working in the Far East, I found it timely.
Ancestor worship is an accepted practice among Romanists here.
Unfortunately, some Protestants have practiced it as well. They should also see the superstitious necromancy and extortion practiced in the name of religion. The lack of a clear understanding of God's law made it easy for self-serving opportunists to rise to the top. If our corrupted Christendom of today is looking for salvation in the East, it had better reread the warnings issued by Hosea and Jeremiah to the syncretistic Israelites of their times. Still, I don't understand why you should only pick on Romanists, since so many Protestants are also guilty of advocating mutual recognition with the Asian religions.
