| "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through this Man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins; and by Him everyone who believes is justified from all things from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses." - Acts 13:38,39
"Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law." - Romans 3:28
The natural response of man is to work or do something to remedy the consequences of a wrongdoing. Except for the true Christian faith, all religions of the world teach the works-based remedy. You have to do something or offer God something in order to win His favor or enter heaven. While faith without works is dead, the true motivation for doing something should be our love for God and His leading to bear glory to Him through our works. We cannot earn our way to heaven, otherwise, Christ would not have to die in our place. Through Christ alone we have forgiveness of sin. We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. He alone is the source of salvation and everything else we do for attaining salvation is vanity.
Praise the Lord!
