What do you believe about salvation and good works?

Answer 1

I believe that Jesus Christ came and died for my sins. He became sin on the cross so that the Father could judge it and declare Him guilty instead of me. I did nothing to earn this free gift of love, but because I believe and have accepted His atoning work as the payment for my sins, my debt has been paid in full by His precious blood. He is my salvation! God bless you!!!

Answer 2

I believe those freaking scary parables about separating the goats from the sheep is what. Those who do not do good works will go on the left with the goats. (The ones who are stubborn). Salvation hinges upon one thing: original sin, which was wiped out when the Saviour came to Earth. The original sin is disobedience. Why then, is there still disobedience? There is SO much human pride the world is swimming in the purple haze of it. To be perfectly obedient as Christ was ("take up your cross and follow me") is to understand perfectly that one cannot go without the other, for if you are filled with His grace, you will do good works. Whereas, if you are not doing good works, you obviously are NOT filled with His grace.

It's a Catch 22 situation.

Answer 3

Salvation is a gift from God through the deathof His son Jesus Christ. When we truly believe in our hearts and confess with our mouths that we are sinners that He died for us and paid our sin debt in full, that Jesus was resurrected and will return for HIs children..This is Salvation- it is eternal security- you can not lose it. When you have salvation when you go to heaven you will not be judged by you sin, but God will look at your good works- How you glorified Him- but you will always have salvation b/c you are always forgiven. Those that are unbelievers will bejudged by their sin- now that will not be pretty! Thank God for His gift!

Answer 4

I believe salvation brings forth good works, not vice versa. Yes, I know that unsaved people do good works, too; the difference is that they don't do them for God's glory.

Answer 5

I believe that if you accept Jesus as your Savior and God as your Father, than you are saved. Especially if you can confess your sins and ask for forgiveness honestly.
Good works is that, good works. Helping someone, doing something nice for someone secretly, just raking the neighbor's yard since you're raking yours, is just a good did. Maybe the "Good Works" in your living life follows you to the afterlife, but that isn't something that I focus on in my spirituality. I want to do nice things for people because I want to, not because I am "required" to.

Answer 6

Salvation is a myth, but good works can improve society and make this place better for all of us.

Answer 7

Good works are good works and that is all.. Salvation is by faith and the grace of God alone.

Answer 8

I believe Salvation is through believing in Christ alone - we are in the day of grace (dispensation) - through Christ alone. We then have work to do - we are to serve as Christ served...
'Good works' does not save us.

Answer 9

grace and good works are necessary for salvation. says so in the Bible

Answer 10

Tts 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;


Rom 4:5 ¶ But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
