1 | are we saved by grace alone? | Phil 2:13 | Belinda | 9504 | ||
"endure to the end" [Mt 10:22, Mt 24:13, Mk 13:13]. If Christians are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, then what do these verses mean? Isn't 'enduring to the end' an extra something we have to do? And if so how can we be saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone? |

2 | are we saved by grace alone? | Phil 2:13 | RevKGraham | 9505 | ||
This verse shows that "salvation is of the LORD" from beginning to end. The same grace that calls one to believe in Christ enables Him to persevere. So the enduring, while requiring our involvement, is by grace. In the beloved passage Ephesians 2:8-10, notice that whereas we are not saved BY works, we are saved UNTO good works. Moreover, those good works are prepared beforehand by God for us to walk in. The true Christian, enduring trials and working good works as he heads for heaven by grace alone, has "eternal security", but the one who is perpetually complacent, displaying no fruit or works, only a shallow profession, should be concerned... alarmed... for the sake of his soul. |
