Reps: 14 (power: 0) | | | BY Faith Through Faith you are saved, this is a gift from God, not of works lest any man should boast. Show me your faith and I will show you my faith by my works.
After we are saved we should want to work for God but if we are working for God in an attempt to be saved we can never do enough. Many men work for thier salvation but only through faith first, which cleanses us from sin, will those works be accepted by our sinless God. |

__________________ The question: "What would you do if you were totally sold out for Jesus?" Jesus' answer:
“He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. ... He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it."
A spring of hot water can heal, a spring of cold water can refresh, but a pool of lukewarm water causes sickness.
Are you sold out for Jesus, or just a Christian? |

Reps: 23 (power: 0) | | | My works do not save me - I am saved by faith, alone - but if my faith is "true" and not "feigned" it will result in good works.
I must "work out my salvation" - to wit: show my salvation by the resulting works of righteousness that are nothing more than the normal activities of my "new" nature. |

BY grace, which works through faith, and results in works.
by Grace, is the first step.
