Absolutely NOT. We do it BECAUSE we’re saved, not to achieve it. God wants us to do good works because He planned them for us from the beginning.

AMEN!

"For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him." -- 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10


"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." -- Ephesians 2:10

What happens if you don’t do good works? What happens to your bad works? Does it really matter to the Reformed?
