Saved by GRACE or by WORKS? What does the Bible really say?

Описание: This hyper grace concept is just not found in scripture, people prop up just a couple verses but refuse to believe the whole rest of scripture that tells us over and over and over that we MUST repent and trust in Jesus and live a holy life! We cannot continue in deliberate sin after trusting in Jesus, continual deliberate sin shows that our faith wasn't genuine (Heb 10:26, 1John3:9, Rev 3:16, Acts 2:38, Titus 2:12, Jude, and literally every book in the Bible!) The Bible says we should be FREE from sin!

Repentance is not a "work" !
it is a putting off of wickedness and putting on Christ!
Baptism isn't a "work," it's being buried with Christ and dying to our old nature ! That is like saying accepting Christ is somehow a work!
Obeying Jesus is not a "work" or earning salvation! It is the fruit of salvation!
It shows we love Him (Jesus said those who love me will obey me)
Bearing good fruit is not a "work," it is the natural result of abiding in the vine, Jesus said all who don't bear good fruit are cut down and thrown into the fire.
So if you are in sin, you are not abiding in the vine.
So take Jesus' advice to the churches in Rev 3 and "be zealous therefore and REPENT!"

God bless you all!

1. God created the world perfectly and created mankind to be in communion with Him. God is holy and good.
2. Mankind rejected God and  was separated from Him God because of sin and rebellion against Him. Man became enemies of God because of wicked works.
3. Everyone has sinned and cannot be reconciled to God with his own merits. Even all the righteousness man tries to do is as filthy rags before a holy God. So man is destined to hell because of sin and there is nothing man can do to save himself from God's wrath against those who choose to follow sin.
4. But God, being rich in mercy, saw the state man was in and even though we were enemies of God, He sent His Son Jesus into the world to save us from sin.
5. Jesus was God in flesh and came down to earth born to a virgin. He never sinned. He came to save us from sin and show us the way of salvation. He taught repentance, He was baptized, and He was  filled with the Holy Spirit. He healed the sick and cast out demons.
6.Jesus had never sinned but the world hated Him and persecuted Him and tortured Him and nailed Him to a cross. Jesus freely allowed them to do this because He freely gave His life in order to save mankind because of His great love. He took mankind's sin apon His shoulders and took the penalty of sin apon Himself.
7. Because Jesus had never sinned, death could not hold Him and Jesus defeated death and was raised to life again 3 days later.
8. Now we have the way of salvation. We must believe on Jesus Christ and what he did for us which if we TRULY believe we will surrender our lives to Him. This happens when we repent, (choose in our hearts to turn away from sin and turn towards God) get baptized, and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then God's power frees us from sin and empowers us to live a holy life as we daily abide in Jesus. We need to continue in this hope and endure to the end to be saved.
9. Now we are His disciples and we go out and and make disciples. We preach the Gospel, heal the sick, and cast out demons just like He did. And we teach them to obey all that Jesus commanded.
10. One day Jesus is coming back to earth and will judge the world in righteousness. The Kingdom of God is coming and we must be ready.
