Jehovah's Witnesses: are we saved by grace or by having an accurate knowledge of God?

Answer 1

WE??? Since when are you a Witness, just wondering?? Or did you mean we in the royal sense, if so, never mind:D

Clearly, it is by the Grace of God, however it is important that we strive to serve him, to do this we Do NEED accurate knowledge of Him.

Consider, Jesus spent allot of time teaching his disciples, if accurate knowledge wasn't needed, would he have wasted time with it??

Answer 2

Both are required.

People are saved by undeserved kindness (Grace) because Jesus gave his life in behalf of many. Also, you still have to come to a accurate knowledge to be saved.

We don't have two Gods. The only God we worship is Jehovah God.

Answer 3

Only by the undeserved kindness of Jehovah are we saved...but we must have accurate knowledge in order to please God well...we must obey his commands to even be worthy of consideration. We must show love for one another and have a deep respect for Jesus and follow his footsteps closely.
We cannot earn salvation but we must work towards it by doing good works.
Jehovah has the Book of Life. Those doing his will are in the Book. Those lawless and rebellious ones and those disgusting in their filth will not be in the Book.

Answer 4

10 Salvation is a gift from God, but it does not come automatically. (Romans 6:23) There are certain basic conditions that each individual must meet to qualify for that gift. Jesus said: “God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life.” And the apostle John added: “He that exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; he that disobeys the Son will not see life.” (John 3:16, 36) Clearly, God requires faith and obedience from each individual who hopes to obtain everlasting salvation. Each one must make the decision to accept the ransom and to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. W00, 6/1

How do we “render sacred service to the living God”? Among other things, the Bible tells us to combat the works of the flesh, to resist the world’s immorality, and to avoid its snares. It says: “Fight the fine fight of the faith,” put off “the sin that easily entangles us,” and “run with endurance the race that is set before us, as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus.” And the Bible urges us not to ‘get tired and give out in our souls.’—1 Timothy 6:12; Hebrews 12:1-3; Galatians 5:19-21.

We do not earn salvation by doing these things, for no human could ever do enough to merit such an astounding blessing. We are not worthy of this magnificent gift, though, if we fail to demonstrate our love and obedience by doing the things that the Bible says God and Christ want us to do. Without works to demonstrate our faith, our claim to follow Jesus would fall far short, for the Bible clearly states: “Faith, if it does not have works, is dead in itself.”—James 2:17.

Rev 7:10 – . 10 And they keep on crying with a loud voice, saying: “Salvation [we owe] to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

We owe our salvation to God, Jehovah, the Father, (who is seated on the throne & who is IN heaven) and to his Son, Jesus, the Lamb and Son of God(who was standing & whose name UNDER heaven that has been given among men for us to get saved– Rev 5:6, Acts 4:12) .


That’s why Jesus said in John 14:1 – “Exercise faith in God, exercise faith also in me”

John 17:3 - 3 This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ

Answer 5

"Grace".

Most Jehovah's Witnesses are more familiar with the expression "undeserved kindness" than with "grace". Of course, the bible teaches that God's "grace" includes the entire provision for salvation (including the bible).

(Ephesians 2:8-9, RS) By grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God—not because of works, lest any man should boast.

(Ephesians 2:8-9, NWT) By this undeserved kindness, indeed, you have been saved through faith; and this not owing to you, it is God’s gift. No, it is not owing to works, in order that no man should have ground for boasting.

Answer 6

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast" (Eph. 2:8-9).

Only by trusting Christ to save us can we receive God's gift of salvation and be born again.

Answer 7

First of all you are not saved! Without bowing down to Jesus there is no salvation. You need to have a rapturous joy and peace flooding your soul if you are saved. You will experience a radical change in your life. ONLY Jesus can do that. Worthy is the lamb and 24 elders bowed down before Jesus and worshipped Him.
