Salvation Through Faith And Baptism
Our faith in Jesus Christ leads us to repent and be baptized. This is when we die to ourselves and rise up into newness of life.
Is Repentance And Good Works Necessary?
We worship Jesus because of our faith. But it doesn’t stop here. Since we’ve repented and are born again, His good works are in us.
False Grace
Make sure that your faith is alive in Christ. Otherwise, sin may be abounding in You. Repent if you have strayed from following Jesus.
The Need For Good Works
How can people see Christians and glorify God, if there are no good works in our lives? Therefore, faith without works is dead.
Jesus Said That We Will Do Greater Works

It is God that would move us to love one another as He loves us. Without such love in our lives, there Is no true faith.

As we are called by Jesus to “abide in me, and I in you”, the more we do so, the more we will walk in His good works.

1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;
2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

What we do for salvation, on our own terms, without God’s help, is only filthy rags in the sight of God.
