I don't believe our works save us, but I believe they follow us into heaven and bring glory to God.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works.
I further believe that all must be saved through the merits of Christ.
It is a common assumption that a person's good works will get them into Heaven.
God is using people to accomplish His work, of saving souls, but we have to remember that it is not us doing the work. It's God using our vessel.
I believe that Christians believe in salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, not by works. And we believe that if you're saved, Jesus becomes your savior. He makes a promise to you. You can trust his promises. You can bank on that word.
Frankly, I'm not religious, but I believe in the cause of humanity - doing good work.
Christian salvation consists in works. To be saved is to be made holy. To be saved requires our being made part of a people separated from the world so that we can be united in spite of - or perhaps better, because of - the world's fragmentation and divisions.
We are here to do God's work. He's not here to do ours.
What we do for a living does not matter so much as how we do it. It is the spirit in which we do our work that counts, and that counts through all eternity.
We believe that salvation is to be found in wholesome work in a beloved land. Work will provide our people with the bread of tomorrow, and moreover, with the honor of the tomorrow, the freedom of the tomorrow.
