Subject: What does it mean? |
Bible Note: If repentance and confession are necessary is that not salvation by works? No. Neither is it salvation by works if baptism is necessary. It is like you didn't even read what I posted. I said, "It is not as though you are earning anything. You are just doing what God has commanded, and in the end you receive a gift which never could have been earned." If you do anything out of an attitude that God owes you a return then you are wrong. Luke 17:9 "He does not thank the slave because he did the things which were commanded, does he? Luke 17:10 "So you too, when you do all the things which are commanded you, say, 'We are unworthy slaves; we have done only that which we ought to have done.'" |
