Works cant save.  All unsaved folk "good deeds" are for selfish reasons. It is sn atempt to bribe the God/Just Judge and it wont work. "But we are allike an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags; we all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." Isaiah 64:6 (which often is explained in culture context back then that those rags were only fit to be burned). Which ties into Paul's imagery from 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 (works being "burned up"), to make the point that human righteousness apart from Christ is worthless and destined for judgment. Luke 13:3, 5 – “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.” In Hebrews 9:27 God reveals: And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment." So all who are not born again by God, regardless of their beliefs (or church attendance, etc) are unsaved and hellbound. But those who obey the Gospel, God saves & transforms them at that m...

Q: When considering joining the Coptic/Catholic/Orthodox religion what are the things one should focus on the most? I’ve been to the church and felt a connection but how do I learn more? Is it just by reading the Bible and praying?  What are the steps to knowing it’s the right choice? A: Is there a reason you would move to a "works based religion" vs the "grace based" faith of actual biblical Christianity? If that question confuses you, look a bit briefly into this here .  For further clarity here is the difference between these two systems: So the Bible clearly teaches that we are sinners. We are not perfect. Therefore since Eden God promised a Savior who would [as the rest of the Bible further teaches] take away the sins of the World. So when God came to do the work it was to pay our debt in full to God through Jesus. It was fully paid by the work Jesus did if we obey the Gospel. God's grace is unmerited favor. It means we are getting what we dont deserv...

Christianity is a grace based faith. All other religions, quasi Christian and cult groups in the world are works based. That makes Christianity stand out as unique. It says this is the only way because God, the true and living God has declared so. And we can show how it is the truth among all beliefs.  Works or Faith? And what Fruit is proof it is righteous works not sinful works? Q: I am talking to my friend who does not believe..... I told him you Must be Saved by Grace through Faith and Not by Works ... He then quoted me the Scripture verse " Faith without works is dead ".... not sure what should I say to continue the conversation. What does Scripture say? A: The below shows the context of the verses and a peek into the topic. I have a feeling he doesnt know this whole portion and what the rest of Scripture says, and likely doesnt even realize he agreed with you. And it is because many are taught about "works" wrongly, in fact, the whole world is, and it is b...

Are you living by faith in Jesus, or by a false modern works righteousness? You can't can earn Heaven (a happier life on earth) if you make sacrifices (stop cursing and tithe sometimes, or do things). You can only be saved and live through Christ, who purchased you on the cross. His work paid your fine and made you right with God when you obeyed the gospel: Repented of your sins (forsook doing them anymore, hating sin) and trusted in Jesus. Don't let satan decieve you anymore, break free from the works righteousness lie that many in the  churches and communities have propogated in recent years. Trust only in Jesus righteousness, and live a life that pleases God based on your gratitude and love for Him. http://www.examineyourself.com/ http://www.needGod.com/ Resources to help you as a new believer  Resources for believers Resources for skeptics & seekers This resource may help bring you to the conclusion that God is the Creator, Jesus is the Savior and C...
