It seems that some of you hold to works and laws as a way of being more holy, acceptable, righteous.
Do you imagine that you will stand before God and give a glowing account of those good things that you have done? What if you do 49 of 50 things but miss that last one?
If the salvation of Mankind required Christ’s death that would be considered the greatest price to accomplish that salvation. If that greatest price is what accomplished the gift of Life through Christ how in the world will your miserable world keep you saved, in fellowship, from backsliding?
Salvation is from outside us to us. Not within us. It is a free gift. If we rely on our actions to keep us where we need to be we might as well live like there is no tomorrow because we are already in hell. No man can make the cut.
