Salvation is not by works. Jesus Christ has done all the works required for anyone to be saved. Just believe, that’s all it takes. There are two extreme beliefs among many so-called Christians today with regard to salvation:

  • Some believe they are saved by their works. They base their salvation upon their obedience to the commandments.
  • Others believe that they are saved by grace, but there are things they must continue to do in order to keep their salvation.

None of these two positions is biblical. Salvation is not about what you must do, but about about what CHRIST has already done for YOU. He has done all the works required for you to be saved. You just need to believe and trust in His shed blood for the forgiveness of your sins.

The Bible teaches that both salvation and sanctification are the works of the Holy Spirit in the believer’s life. You’re not saved by your works, neither is your salvation sustained or made perfect by your works.

Acts 16:30-31  And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Galatians 2:21  I do not frustrate the grace of God, for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain
