AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 2:7 to those who by persistence in doing good seek [unseen but certain heavenly] glory, honor, and immortality, [He will give the gift of] eternal life. |
Bible Question: Is this verse saying that regardless of the religion of the person, whoever does what is written in it will be saved? (For the complete idea maybe the preceding verse should be added:Romans 2:6-7 6 He will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; ). |
Bible Answer: Greetings Finder, Be assured that no one will ever be saved because of their “good works”. The payment, or wages, for works done by those that are lost are pronounced in the following. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Religion focuses on a person trying to gain God’s approval as dead works. The work that Jesus did on the cross completely finished all that is needed for man’s eternal relationship with a Holy God, i.e. eternal life. Where the problem comes in is that most aren’t willing to completely trust in God’s solution for sin which is God’s Messiah or Christ, that’s why Jesus said what he did in John 14. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. The key to eternal life is found in the person of Jesus the Son. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: The word believe, is PISTEUO in the Greek and it means to have faith and trust in and rely on the person of Jesus. Once a person puts their undivided trust in the person of Jesus, Christ Himself comes into that person and indwells them. Notice what takes place when that happens! 1 John 5:10-13 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 11And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 13These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. This is the best news on Earth to those that have undivided trust in the one God provided, Jesus. Have a great day, CDBJ |
