SALVATION 2: JESUS PLUS WORKS EQUALS NOTHING
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Salvation
a) Once a Christian is saved, can they lose their salvation? What if a believer falls away from the faith, can they be restored again to God? Have you ever doubted your own salvation? Is once saved always saved true? Once a Christian is saved, can they be lost again? Is there such a thing as eternal security? Can a person’s name be erased from the Book of Life?
2. Jesus Plus Works Equals Nothing
a) If anyone believes that their works can save them remember that God calls even the best of good works filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6). Here is the one and only work that God accepts and that Jesus testified to, “…This is the work of God, that you believe on Him Whom He has sent” (John 6:29). “For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God” (Romans 10:3).
b) Romans 4:6 clearly says that we are saved “without the deeds of the Law” (Romans 3:28), and it is “not of works” (Ephesians 2:9) “It is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). No one is saved by works…we are saved for works. God would not give us the gift of grace only to take it again. Who gives someone a gift and then goes and takes it back?
The End ...
