good works are credited to our account.

Yes, good works are credited to our account. You don't have to remind God of them, as was asked here and was the question I was responding to.

Additionally, that is the judgment of the unsaved, those who rejected Christ's finished work on the cross and appealed to their own good works to save them.

Yes, without faith their good works are dead, and vice versa.

They want to get into heaven on their good works? God will judge them by that. And it's not going to turn out well.

Yes, for those without faith, that will certainly happen.

Wow.....

Just wow......

Way to misquote someone.

I did NOT say that good works are credited to our account as if to say that OUR good works are credited to our account.

I clearly and plainly said,.... and I quote.

"We who have put our faith in Christ alone for salvation have been clothed in the righteousness of Christ, HIS perfect life and good works are credited to our account."

If you're going to quote someone, do try to have enough integrity next time to quote the entire thing they say so that it is not misrepresenting their position.

So, if you’re depending on your good works to get you in, how do you know you did enough?

And how do you know you did the right ones?

What if you come up short?

What kind of God do you serve who would leave you hanging like that in regard to your salvation and would let you come up short and send you to hell for it?
