Nullifies any necessary act of obedience on our part.

A miraculous gift, merely mental consent, excludes any act of obedience on

man’s part.

Any thing one does. Makes grace void. Heresy when made

necessary for salvation

“Grace says you have nothing to give, nothing to earn, nothing to pay. You

couldn't if you tried! Salvation is a free gift. You simply lay hold of what Christ

has provided. Period. And yet the heretical doctrine of works goes on all around the world and always will. It is

effective because the pride of men and women is so strong. We simply

have to do something in order to feel right about it. It just doesn't make

good humanistic sense to get something valuable for nothing.”

A DIFFERENT GOSPELGalatians 1:6

By: Charles Swindoll

The Term “Grace”True: Can’t merit

favor with God – Luke 17:10

Parables of pearl & treasure – Mat

13:44-46What about giving

our love? Mark 12:29-31

What about our bodies? Rom 12:1-2

What about our lives? Luke 9:23;

18:22

“It is a "different gospel" that says, "salvation is not by faith alone it

requires works. Human achievement must accompany sincere faith before you can be certain of your salvation". We

continue to hear that "different gospel" to this day and it is a lie. A theology that rests its salvation on one ounce of human performance

is not good news; it is bad information. It is heresy.”



The Terms “Faith & Works”

“a salvation that includes human achievement, hard work, personal

effort, even religious deeds distorts the good news because man gets the glory, not God. . . .

Most every cult you could name is a cult of salvation by works. It

appeals to the flesh. It tells you, if you will stand so long on a street

corner, if you will distribute so much literature, . . .”




“. . . if you will sacrifice so much of life, if you will be

baptized, if you will contribute your money, if you will pray or

attend numerous meetings, then your good works and hard

effort will cause God to smile on you. . . . The result in that, I

say again, is man's glory, because you added to your

salvation.”

The Faith That

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 14 What does it profit, my

brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?

Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and

one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,"

but you do not give them the things which are needed for the

body, what does it profit?


15

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it

does not have works, is dead. 18

But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show

me your faith without your works, and I will show you my

faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do

well. Even the demons believe--and tremble!

Demons Believe But Do Not Obey!

Faith that does not obey is

worthless!

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without

works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified

by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22

Do you see that faith was working together with his

works, and by works faith was made perfect?

Genesis 22:16-19

Before God!!

What kind of faith did Abraham

have? Rom 4:12


17

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 23 And the Scripture was

fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was

accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24

You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by

faith only.

Genesis 15:6Before God!!

The Faith That Saves Is

The Faith That Obeys!


18

James 2:14-26 (NKJV) 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith

without works is dead also.

Hebrews 11:31Rahab
