What about those who think that God gives good works and effort through which He fits folks for heaven?
“What about those who think that God gives good works and effort through which He fits folks for heaven?”
From a very wise man,
Acts 5:38-39, “And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God”
Enat’s talking about works only, not faith and works. You need faith first, then God has His works for you to do. It’s not the other way around. Works by themselves will never get you favor with God or into heaven.
