Faith And Love Both Are Completed By Obedience

How can some preachers say obedience is not required for salvation when both our Faith and Love Of God are completed by our obedience? Are they saying we can be saved without a complete faith? Are they saying we can be saved without a complete love of God?

James 2:22 says about Abraham’s offering of Isaac “You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works;” (ESV)

I John 2:5 reads “But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him:” (NIV)

So unless you want to say we can be saved with an incomplete faith and an incomplete love, you have to say obedience is necessary to our salvation. Because faith and love are both incomplete until they obey.
