I understand that legalism is viewed harshly upon in the united states, but Jesus christ says in Matthew 7:21-23
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
many Protestants clain that one can be saved just by accepting Him once and go to church every now and them, but how can this be if Jesus says here that one must obey the laws. I know paul says salvation is not through human works, and our work cant ave us alone. Is there a balance between works and grace?
