Subject: What does Scripture mean by no works? |
Bible Note: After reading of your comment to Tim, it seems that you believed that good works is nothing or not a contributor to our salvation. Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Paul quoting the "works" a works of law and not good works. Please read verse 10 to confirm it Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. We are created unto "good works" and please take a look what Paul says about that faith alone doctrine. 1Co 13:2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 1Co 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. Is charity works or not, it will of the Father or Not? Mt 7:21 ¶ Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. another thing how could you explain this verse to me. Php 2:12 ¶ Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. It seems that paul taught us to work out our own salvation. |
