Works equate to reaping and sowing. Give and it shall be given unto you. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. I'd not try to obtain salvation by works. One read through the new testament, and a man could clearly understand this. They asked Jesus how to do the works of God. He replied, believe on the one who he (God) has sent. I'm not interested in the great white throne judgment. I wouldn't fare very well.
