Work it Out

Work it Out
When trying to explain what is necessary of Salvation, One is always met with the typical response of, "Works are not necessary for salvation. " Or "Works is a Law doctrine. We are not under the Law. We are under Grace." So after continuously receiving the declarations of these bold but false proclamations, it is clearly evident that neither the young nor the old of this current generation of Believers, are aware of what is needed for Salvation. To continue to ignore all of the Biblical evidence, while continuing to vehemently insist that works are not a necessary ingredient for salvation, is the mark of one who is in a state of deep denial and illusion. All through the Scriptures, from Noah to Jesus Christ, it is clearly evident that works are part of the ingredient for Salvation.

By any chance, has anyone noticed that there are two types of works. And out of these two types of works, the first increases one's chance of obtaining and maintaining Salvation.

1. Works of Faith: Works which are done through love and belief in the word of God. And because these works are done from love and faith, One is able to do them consistently and completely. And because they are accomplished consistently and completely, they are capable of leading One to Salvation. Examples which are given in the Bible: Noah, Abraham, Lot, Rahab, Jesus Christ.

2. Works of the Law: Works which are done just because the Law states that One has to do them. Therefore, these works are done without any love or belief. And since they are done without any love or belief, One is unable to consistently continue in them. And if unable to consistently continue, One will not fulfill or complete them. And because One is unable to consistently and completely accomplish them, they are a hindrance to the obtainment of Salvation. Examples which are given in the Bible: Adam and Eve, Lot's wife, The Pharisees, and Sadducees
