We reach our hands up in faith, and God reaches down
to us with His great grace.
Amazing Grace
When we were yet sinners.
We can't use the crown if it stays in the box
Saved BY Grace,
THROUGH Faith,
UNTO Good Works
How far do you agree with these statements?
1. The "good works" of unsaved people are "dead", and
are as "filthy rags" to God.
2. We are under Satan's control until we are
spiritually reborn through faith in Jesus.
3. We are saved by faith and grace, not works. Good
works after our spiritual rebirth signifies true faith.
4. God is not impressed by the "good works" and
prayers of non-Christians.
5. We are not to admire the sincerity and zeal of those in
non-Christians religions. We are to avoid participating
in their efforts. Rebuke them sharply

Salvation is by faith alone   Salvation is not by faith alone.

Faith
                     Is Essential To Salvation.

John 3:16 - Whoever believes on Jesus should have eternal
life.
Romans 1:16 - The gospel is God's power to save all who
believe.
Romans 5:1,2 - By faith we are justified and have access to
grace.
Ephesians 2:8 - By grace are you saved through faith.
(Acts 16:31; 10:43; 15:9; 13:39; John 8:24; 3:36; 5:24;
6:40; 20:30,31; Romans 3:22-28; 4:3,16; etc.)
Faith
Is Essential To Salvation.
But No Passage Says We
            Are Saved
        by Faith Alone
Ja 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is
                                     dead, so




        apart from works is
                    dead.
by Itself, Inward Faith Will Not Save.


John 12:42,43 - People "believed" in Jesus but would not
confess Him, because they loved the praises of men more
than the praises of God. Were they saved? (Cf. Rom.
10:9,10; Matt. 10:32,33.)
James 2:19,20 - Even devils believe. Are they saved?
James 2:14,24 - Can faith save without obedience? No, that
is a dead faith (v17,20,26).
Many Things Are Essential to Salvation.

God's grace (Ephesians 2:4-10; 1:7; Titus 2:11,12; Acts
15:11)
Jesus' death and resurrection (Ephesians 1:7; Romans
5:6-10; 1 Peter 1:18,19; Revelation 1:5; 1 Corinthians
15:17; 1 Peter 3:21)
The gospel (Romans 1:16; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Acts 11:14;
James 1:18,21; 1 Corinthians 15:1,2; John 8:31,32)
Learning God's will (Acts 11:14; John 6:44,45; Romans
10:17; 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:21)
Many Things Are Essential to Salvation.

 Love (1 Corinthians 16:22; 13:1-3; Galatians 5:6; 1 John
4:7,8)
Hope (Romans 8:24)
Repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30;
Luke 13:3,5; 2 Peter 3:9)
Obedience (Hebrews 5:9; Romans 6:17,18; 1 Peter 1:22;
Acts 10:34,35; 2 Thessalonians 1:8,9; Galatians 5:6; James
2:14-26)
Many Things Are Essential to Salvation.



Confession of Christ (Romans 10:9,10; Matthew 10:32)
Baptism (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21;
Romans 6:3-7; Galatians 3:26,27; Colossians 2:12,13)
Faithfulness (Matthew 10:22; Revelation 2:10; 1
Corinthians 15:58; Matthew 28:20; Titus 2:11,12; 1 John
2:1-6)
Church membership (Acts 2:47; 20:28; Ephesians
5:23,25)
Obedience Is Essential To Salvation.


1 Peter 1:22,23 - We purify our souls in obeying the truth.
Romans 6:17,18 - Servants of sin must obey from the heart
in order to be made free from sin.
Hebrews 5:9 - Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to all
who obey Him.
James 2:24 - Man is justified by works, not by "faith
only."
Acts 11:14; 10:34,35 - Peter told Cornelius words whereby
he would be saved. But the first words He said were that, to
be accepted by God, people must work righteousness.
Matthew 7:21-27; Luke 6:46 - To accept Jesus as
Lord (ruler, master) and enter the kingdom of heaven,
we must do what He says. We may believe and
confess Him yet be rejected, because we did not obey.
2 Thessalonians 1:8,9; Romans 2:6-10 - Receiving
eternal life requires us to do good. Those who do not
obey will be destroyed.
1 John 5:3; John 14:15,21-24 - Loving God requires
us to keep His commands. If we do not obey, we do
not love Him. Can one be saved if he does not love
God (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:22; Matthew 22:37-39)?
Saving Faith Requires Obedience.




       Blessings Received "by Faith"

  Noah built the ark then his house was saved
Abraham obeyed to go then received inheritance
      Israel marched then the walls fell
  We obey conditions then receive forgiveness
    Obedience comes first, then comes the
                   blessing!
We cant appropriate it without




Grace is a gift of God. Because it comes to us
at God's initiative, there are some things we
can't do about grace. We can't earn it. We
can't control it. We don't have to deserve it.




Jam 2:24 You see that a man is justified by
works and not by faith alone.
We are saved by grace

(Eph. 2:8,9)




  but we can fall from grace
        (Gal. 5:2-4).
We are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1),




 but our faith can cease to exist
  (Luke 8:13; Rom. 11:19-23)
               and
      become shipwrecked
        (1 Tim. 1:19,20).
We are not under the law
         (Rom. 6:14,15),

                       but
               if you live
            according to
        the sinful nature
              you will die
            (Rom. 8:13).
Paul taught against legalism
(Gal. 5:3,4),
but among others things he taught:
But among you there must not be even a hint
of sexual immorality,
or
of any kind of impurity,
or
of greed,
because these are improper for God's holy people.

Nor should there be obscenity,
foolish talk or coarse joking,
which are out of place,
but
rather thanksgiving.
For of this you can be sure:
No immoral,
impure
or greedy person
—such a man is an idolater—
has any inheritance
in the kingdom of Christ
and of God.




Let no one deceive you with empty words,
for because of such things
God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient.
Therefore do not be partners with them (Eph. 5:3-6).
We are not saved by works
      (Eph. 2:8,9),


 but to reap eternal life
           and
     not destruction,
      you must sow
   to please the Spirit
           and
  not the sinful nature
      (Gal. 6:8,9).
God is faithful to us
 (1 John 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13),
             but
we must be faithful to him
to the very end of our lives
 to escape the lake of fire,
              or
        second death
       (Rev. 2:10,11).
God surely loves us
(John 3:16; Mk. 10:21; Rom. 8:35-39),
but those who inherit the kingdom
              of God,
             love God
    (James 2:5 cf. 1 Cor. 2:9).
         And to love God
               means
              to obey
       his commandments
     (Jn. 14:15; 1 John 5:3).
We have freedom in Christ
          (Gal. 5:1),
   but this freedom is not
to indulge the sinful nature
   (Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet. 2:16).
Eph 2:10
For we are his
workmanship
created in Christ Jesus for good works,
which God afore prepared that we should
walk in them
Create




         One New
         Man
The
"No Gentiles Allowed"
    inscriptions
(Eph 2:11) Wherefore
remember, that once ye,
the Gentiles in the flesh,
who are called
Uncircumcision
by that which is called
Circumcision,
in the flesh, made by hands;
Gentile


Eph 2:12 that ye were at
that time separate from
Christ, alienated from the
commonwealth of Israel,
and strangers from the
covenants of the promise,
having no hope and
without God in the world.


Jews
One New Man
in Christ




              Eph 2:13 But now
              in Christ Jesus ye
              that once were far
              off are made nigh in
              the blood of Christ.
But if some of the
branches were
broken off, and you,
being a wild olive,
were grafted in
among them, and
became partaker with
them of the root and
of the richness of the
olive tree; don't boast
against the branches.
But if you boast, it is
not you who support
the root, but the root
supports you
(Romans 11:17,18).
Eph 2:14 For he is
our peace, who made
both one, and brake
down the middle
wall of partition,
Eph 2:16 and might reconcile
them both in one body unto
God through the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby:
Eph 2:18 for through him we
both have our access in one
Spirit unto the Father.
Eph 2:19 So then ye are no more
strangers and sojourners, but ye are
fellow-citizens with the saints, and of
the household of God,
One Holy Temple
Eph 2:20 being built upon
the foundation of the
apostles and prophets
Christ Jesus himself being
the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 in whom each several building,
fitly framed together, groweth into a holy
temple in the Lord;
Eph 2:21 in whom each several building,
fitly framed together, groweth into a holy
temple in the Lord;
Eph 2:22 in whom ye also are builded
together for a habitation of God in the
Spirit.

  • 16. How far do you agree with these statements? 1. The "good works" of unsaved people are "dead", and are as "filthy rags" to God. 2. We are under Satan's control until we are spiritually reborn through faith in Jesus. 3. We are saved by faith and grace, not works. Good works after our spiritual rebirth signifies true faith. 4. God is not impressed by the "good works" and prayers of non-Christians. 5. We are not to admire the sincerity and zeal of those in non-Christians religions. We are to avoid participating in their efforts. Rebuke them sharply http://www.creationists.org/goodworks.html

  • 51. Faith Is Essential To Salvation. John 3:16 - Whoever believes on Jesus should have eternal life. Romans 1:16 - The gospel is God's power to save all who believe. Romans 5:1,2 - By faith we are justified and have access to grace. Ephesians 2:8 - By grace are you saved through faith. (Acts 16:31; 10:43; 15:9; 13:39; John 8:24; 3:36; 5:24; 6:40; 20:30,31; Romans 3:22-28; 4:3,16; etc.)
  • 52. Faith Is Essential To Salvation.
  • 53. But No Passage Says We Are Saved by Faith Alone
  • 54. Ja 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so apart from works is dead.
  • 55. by Itself, Inward Faith Will Not Save. John 12:42,43 - People "believed" in Jesus but would not confess Him, because they loved the praises of men more than the praises of God. Were they saved? (Cf. Rom. 10:9,10; Matt. 10:32,33.) James 2:19,20 - Even devils believe. Are they saved? James 2:14,24 - Can faith save without obedience? No, that is a dead faith (v17,20,26).
  • 56. Many Things Are Essential to Salvation. God's grace (Ephesians 2:4-10; 1:7; Titus 2:11,12; Acts 15:11) Jesus' death and resurrection (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 5:6-10; 1 Peter 1:18,19; Revelation 1:5; 1 Corinthians 15:17; 1 Peter 3:21) The gospel (Romans 1:16; 1 Peter 1:23-25; Acts 11:14; James 1:18,21; 1 Corinthians 15:1,2; John 8:31,32) Learning God's will (Acts 11:14; John 6:44,45; Romans 10:17; 1:16; 1 Corinthians 1:21)
  • 57. Many Things Are Essential to Salvation. Love (1 Corinthians 16:22; 13:1-3; Galatians 5:6; 1 John 4:7,8) Hope (Romans 8:24) Repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 17:30; Luke 13:3,5; 2 Peter 3:9) Obedience (Hebrews 5:9; Romans 6:17,18; 1 Peter 1:22; Acts 10:34,35; 2 Thessalonians 1:8,9; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26)
  • 58. Many Things Are Essential to Salvation. Confession of Christ (Romans 10:9,10; Matthew 10:32) Baptism (Mark 16:16; Acts 2:38; 22:16; 1 Peter 3:21; Romans 6:3-7; Galatians 3:26,27; Colossians 2:12,13) Faithfulness (Matthew 10:22; Revelation 2:10; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Matthew 28:20; Titus 2:11,12; 1 John 2:1-6) Church membership (Acts 2:47; 20:28; Ephesians 5:23,25)
  • 59. Obedience Is Essential To Salvation. 1 Peter 1:22,23 - We purify our souls in obeying the truth. Romans 6:17,18 - Servants of sin must obey from the heart in order to be made free from sin. Hebrews 5:9 - Jesus is the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him. James 2:24 - Man is justified by works, not by "faith only." Acts 11:14; 10:34,35 - Peter told Cornelius words whereby he would be saved. But the first words He said were that, to be accepted by God, people must work righteousness.
  • 60. Matthew 7:21-27; Luke 6:46 - To accept Jesus as Lord (ruler, master) and enter the kingdom of heaven, we must do what He says. We may believe and confess Him yet be rejected, because we did not obey. 2 Thessalonians 1:8,9; Romans 2:6-10 - Receiving eternal life requires us to do good. Those who do not obey will be destroyed. 1 John 5:3; John 14:15,21-24 - Loving God requires us to keep His commands. If we do not obey, we do not love Him. Can one be saved if he does not love God (cf. 1 Corinthians 16:22; Matthew 22:37-39)?
  • 61. Saving Faith Requires Obedience. Blessings Received "by Faith" Noah built the ark then his house was saved Abraham obeyed to go then received inheritance Israel marched then the walls fell We obey conditions then receive forgiveness Obedience comes first, then comes the blessing!
  • 62.
  • 63. We cant appropriate it without Grace is a gift of God. Because it comes to us at God's initiative, there are some things we can't do about grace. We can't earn it. We can't control it. We don't have to deserve it. Jam 2:24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
  • 64. We are saved by grace (Eph. 2:8,9) but we can fall from grace (Gal. 5:2-4).
  • 65. We are justified by faith (Rom. 5:1), but our faith can cease to exist (Luke 8:13; Rom. 11:19-23) and become shipwrecked (1 Tim. 1:19,20).
  • 66. We are not under the law (Rom. 6:14,15), but if you live according to the sinful nature you will die (Rom. 8:13).
  • 67. Paul taught against legalism (Gal. 5:3,4), but among others things he taught: But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
  • 68. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person —such a man is an idolater— has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them (Eph. 5:3-6).
  • 69. We are not saved by works (Eph. 2:8,9), but to reap eternal life and not destruction, you must sow to please the Spirit and not the sinful nature (Gal. 6:8,9).
  • 70. God is faithful to us (1 John 1:9; 1 Cor. 10:13), but we must be faithful to him to the very end of our lives to escape the lake of fire, or second death (Rev. 2:10,11).
  • 71. God surely loves us (John 3:16; Mk. 10:21; Rom. 8:35-39), but those who inherit the kingdom of God, love God (James 2:5 cf. 1 Cor. 2:9). And to love God means to obey his commandments (Jn. 14:15; 1 John 5:3).
  • 72.
  • 73. We have freedom in Christ (Gal. 5:1), but this freedom is not to indulge the sinful nature (Gal. 5:13; 1 Pet. 2:16).
  • 74.
  • 75. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship
  • 76. created in Christ Jesus for good works,
  • 77. which God afore prepared that we should walk in them
  • 78. Create One New Man
  • 79.
  • 81. (Eph 2:11) Wherefore remember, that once ye, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called Circumcision, in the flesh, made by hands;
  • 82. Gentile Eph 2:12 that ye were at that time separate from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. Jews
  • 83. One New Man in Christ Eph 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.
  • 84. But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became partaker with them of the root and of the richness of the olive tree; don't boast against the branches. But if you boast, it is not you who support the root, but the root supports you (Romans 11:17,18).
  • 85. Eph 2:14 For he is our peace, who made both one, and brake down the middle wall of partition,
  • 86.
  • 87.
  • 88. Eph 2:16 and might reconcile them both in one body unto God through the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:

  • 90. Eph 2:18 for through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father.
  • 91. Eph 2:19 So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
  • 92.
  • 93.
  • 95. Eph 2:20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets
  • 96. Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone;
  • 97. Eph 2:21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
  • 98. Eph 2:21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord;
  • 99. Eph 2:22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
