Here's the thing we are saved by Grace through faith right?
But our faith is in Christ, not in the fact that we are saved. And if we have faith in Christ, then we will do what He has commanded us to do (viz Luke 6:46). Furthermore, when we have done the things He has told us to do, we are to expect nothing in return:
[VERSE=Luke 17:10, KJV]So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.[/VERSE]
Our faith cannot be a quid pro quo, for then our faith is not faith in Christ, but rather faith in a transaction.
