Good Works

The almost universal view of the religions of the world is that one may earn the favor of God (or some other supposed deity) by doing “good works” (or some variant of that idea). The truth is that only saving faith in Jesus Christ alone saves from Hell. This may be summarized with simple equations:

False: Good Works → Salvation

False: Saving Faith + Good Works → Salvation

False: Saving Faith + Christ + Good Works → Salvation

False: Saving Faith + Christ + Anything Else → Salvation

True: Faith in Jesus Christ alone → Salvation in Christ + Genuinely Good Works for God’s Glory
