Amen this loud.

The Bible, not any preacher, God's very own word tells us that for those who try to earn their salvation by works i.e. trying to keep the Law ?

Well then, they have to keep ALL the law.

Yup, they have to keep every jot and letter of the law perfectly and if they break even the smallest part of the law ?

They break the whole law.

Therefore ?

They are the true law breakers.

I didn't say that, the bible tells us that, God's very own work.

Salvation is a free gift bestowed upon us from God himself.
Of course ? the law pushers ( Salvation by works ) will manipulate their words and craft it in a way to get out of that one.

The bible, not any preacher, God's word tells us that no man is made justified in God's sight by keeping the law.

But those who are already in Christ ?
They have already, yes, ALREADY kept the law perfectly in God's sight.
As far as God see's them ?
Legally ?
Positionally ?
Judicially ?
They have already kept the law perfectly since they have placed their trust, hope, faith, lives in the only one who can can could have saved them, Jesus Christ our savior,

YESHUA ! When God says Yes.

Can't be IN CHRIST if your trusting in keeping the law for your salvation ( that's what the bible talks about " being in the flesh, your own self human efforts. )

Can't be IN CHRIST when your in the flesh, i.e. trying to earn it in your own efforts, your own power.

Either your trusting in Christ's redemptive work on the cross, his atoning blood sacrifice, his perfect life, and his keeping the law perfectly.

OR ?

You are trusting in your own power ?
Your own efforts ?
Your own reliance in keeping the law ? ( and you HAVE TO keep ALL the law , every jot and letter of the law perfectly until Christ returns )...( for there is no more blood sacrifice, no more bulls and goats, or even Christ's blood can atone for your sins ( Hebrews chapter 10 ) unless ? you repent, turn from your ways, and turn to Christ alone ).

You can't have it both ways.
IF ? your trusting in your own works, keeping the law, then ?
Your NOT IN CHRIST alone.

THEREFORE THERE IS NOW NO CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS, who walk NOT after the flesh, but, who walk after the spirit.
Yes, read it there, in Romans... Paul says, that the LAW was weak because of the flesh, i.e. HUMAN EFFORT.

But ? if your are saved by Grace through faith alone ? and trusting in what Christ has done ? then your in CHRIST.

People would not need a savoir if they could save themselves.

Have to repeat this for it to sink in some people's minds.

People would not need a savoir if they could save themselves.
People would not need a savoir if they could save themselves.
People would not need a savoir if they could save themselves.

The Arminians think and believe that they had a part in their salvation.... nope, sorry, they did not, that is ? IF they are actually saved, since the bible tells us, that no man is made justified in God's sight by keeping the law.

If you think your saved by keeping the law ? you are not saved.
For it is by GRACE THROUGH FAITH that we are saved, and not of your selves, lest any man should boast.

The law keepers ? they boast about keeping the law, but ? are they really ?
Perhaps ? they are the worst law breakers of them all when they point their fingers at others and condemn others while are the same time hide their own sins ?
The " Man's Free Will " argument ?

Yes, Man kind did have " Free Will " at one time... the problem is ?
Man kind ( Adam and Eve ) gave up that sovereignty to rule this world, man gave up their free will.

Man HAD a free will before the fall, and now ever since Adam and Eve fell, all man kind has been born into sin and into a fallen state.

There is no inherent " Goodness " in the heart of men, no, even the bible, God's word tells us, that there is none that do good, none, that seek God in their own power.

IF ? there is any inherent " Goodness " in any man ? that man, woman, person got it from God.

God's perfect Law was given to us to show us, to teach us, to be our tutor until the Messiah came.
The only person who could have or could ever keep God's law perfectly was God himself... and the one who God sent, God in the flesh, Jesus Christ, for it is he who was the fullness of God, but, yet God in human form.

Grace is more than just canceling of our unpayable debt to God, or the cancellation of Sins.
Grace is much much more than that.
Grace came in where man failed, and grace succeeded where man failed.
The law pushers, the works based Salvationeers can't get around the fact, that ?

It was GRACE that made a way into the most Holy Place in Heaven, even in Christ's life ? even after he fulfilled all the law perfectly ? there was still a need for a atonement of the sin(s) of man.
The works based Salvationeers say that Hebrews chapter 10:26,31 talks about willful sinning.

Those verses are talking about the blatant willful rejecting of the person of Jesus Christ, the ministry, the blood atonement of Jesus Christ, and willful rejection of the Spirit of Grace ( the holy spirit ) of the Holy Spirit's calling of coming to GOD by Grace alone in Jesus Christ alone.

If people can keep the law and save themselves ?
Or ? attain Salvation and keep their Salvation by their works, keeping the law, performance ?

Then ? they have no need of a Savoir.

How can the law pushers, the works based Salvationeers get around this ?

Simply put ?

You don't need a Savoir if you can save your self.

What is it what the Bible says " let us come boldly to the throne of GRACE " ....

Grace comes in where works failed,
Grace comes in where keeping the law is weak in the flesh,
Grace comes in where man failed, and Grace succeeds.

Grace is what keeps you alive and breathing,
Grace is what makes the Sun come up in the morning and Set in the evening.
Grace is what heals you when you pray to God for healing.
Grace is what God gives to us, and blesses us with when we don't deserve it, merited it, or earn it... it's God's free hand of love bestowing on us what we don't deserve.
