"SALVATION BY WORKS?"

NO! Absolutely no! Salvation is free, said the Bible, and if we try
to “buy it” with our “good deeds” it wouldn’t be free.
AND FREE IT IS! Romans 11- 5 and 6.
Well, and how the Apostle James says that we do need them?
Yes! We do need them, but not for salvation!
Let me explain it: Wanting to do good deeds to be saved is like
saying that Jesus Christ is not sufficient to save us and He needs
our help to be able to do it, but that is not the case at all.
If we could be able to be saved by our own works, we would not
needed Jesus to die for us, But no, our good deeds cannot save us!
ONLY CHRIST CAN!
I’m sorry my friend but I don’t understand!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone!
Many people in the world do not understand because they don’t
want to read the Word of God!
Permit me to illustrate it like this:
Our mothers gave us birth with pain, and after they gave us life,
devoted their lives to care for us, defending us, protecting us so
we could be safe and sound.
We understand this when we grow up and try to do something
for them, to appreciate their love and care!
Hugs, flowers, kisses, or simply taking them out for dinner.
These nice things we do for them are in appreciation for what
they have done for us, not to do something for us!
We don’t do it for them to save us, but because they already
saved us for the perils of the world.
In the same token, our good deeds are in appreciation for God
because He saved us! Do you understand now?
Salvation is ours when we believe, and put our faith in Jesus!
Jesus paid a great price to rescue us from sin!
To accept Jesus Christ is to renounce of the world of sin
we are living in, beginning a new life with true love for God
and people!

OPEN UP YOUR HEART!
LET HIM IN!
