Yes, I am Dfender's sister in Christ,he is my brother.

As I was looking something up the following came to my attention. It is from 1Timothy6:17,18and 19.

Charge the rich of this world not to be highminded,nor to trust in the uncertainty of riches,but in the living God,(who giveth us abundantly all things to enjoy,)

To do good,to be rich in good works,to give easily,to communicate to others,

To lay up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come,that they may lay hold on the true life.

Can you explain how this can be?Or maybe I have failed to understand what you all are talking about most of the time. I had been thinking you were saying "works" don't count.Was I wrong?

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

Works don't count for anything towards salvation. Any good works we do is rewarded in heaven. In the book of Rev. we are told that we will throw these rewards at the feet of Christ because they are to his credit anyway not ours. So we should strive to earn rewards so that we will have something to give to Him on that day.
