1 | Do our works keep us saved? | 1 Cor 12:13 | blessed_one | 120648 | ||
Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one can boast." Romans 10:9-10 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." It's all about faith. |

2 | Do our works keep us saved? | 1 Cor 12:13 | Searcher56 | 120652 | ||
Scripture ... Eph 2:10 "For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them." Never forget verse 10 when you quote Ephesians 2:8-9. Also read the contest of this verse ... "So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling" (Phi 2:12). We do get the gift of a heart transplant, that costs us nothing, that someone had to die so we get one ... yet, we need to prove what we got for free by doing something. |

Searcher - indeed we are God's workmanship created IN Christ Jesus, unto good works which HE prepared for us to do (emphasis mine) - it is all about Christ IN me. He does ALL the work, I am the vessel and apart from HIM, I can do nothing. It is my opinion that it takes some vessels longer to pour out the result of the indwelling Treasure which is Christ Jesus. God is at work in His children - HE who BEGAN a good work in His children will be faithful to complete it. I would be careful not to tie "performance" around the neck of a babe in Christ. mommapbs |
