1 | What does Scripture mean by no works? | John 3:5 | Morant61 | 111368 | ||
Greetings EdB! Thanks for the response my friend! I was not aware that I had posted this question twice! :-) I agree with your point my friend. There is not doubt that we are commanded to be baptized. Therefore, every Christian ought to be baptized. Just like every Christian ought to love one another as we are commanded to do. Every Christian ought to never lie. Every Christian ought to never gossip, ect.... However, our salvation is not dependent upon us doing what we ought to do. It is dependent solely upon the grace of God. This is why I usually get involved in these discussions. Scripture clearly says that we are not saved by works. There is nothing that we have to 'do' to be saved. Jesus did it all. We only have to accept His free gift of salvation. Once we have been saved, we ought to be obedient to all of the commands of Christ. But, if we fail and sin, we don't stop being saved. We aren't saved by our works, nor are we un-saved by our works. The end result of these discussions is that we end of with a long list of things that we 'must' do, but in the process, we lose grace. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
