NOT BY WORKS BUT FOR WORKS - Voice of Restoration

"For by such grace you have been saved through faith. This does not come from you; it is the gift of God
and not the result of actions, to put a stop to all boasting.
For we are God’s masterpiece, created in the Messiah Jesus to perform good actions that God prepared long ago to be our way of life." Eph.2:8-10 ISV.
No good deed can make anyone worthy for salvation before God. Our salvation through Christ is solely God's idea and He perfected it with no contribution whatsoever from man.
Salvation of man's soul is the gift of God and not a reward.
But God does nothing arbitrarily but on purpose; He has purpose for everything gift He gives, including the gift of salvation.
There are good works that are like fruit of nature which Jehovah God intends to carry out on earth and has chosen to use man as his vessel to accomplish them.
Salvation of man is not first and foremost to take him to heaven but that man, after being saved by grace might also be engraced to carry out the works for which he was saved.
Those good works form the lifestyle of believers; the lifestyle that fulfills the demand of the law.
O comrade, no amount of the knowledge of God can exempt us from living the lifestyle that is a product and essence of the salvation of our soul on earth rather, the more we know God, the more this responsibility becomes part of us as a lifestyle.
The lifestyle of holiness, righteousness, transparency, truthfulness, reverential fear for God, agape love is solely the responsibility of the saved soul. For this was he supplied with grace.
Increase in the knowledge of God increasingly conforms our souls to the likeness of Jesus even as our spirits are at salvation.
May the grace of God that enables men for the responsibility of the kingdom be multiplied unto you in Jesus'name.
Shalom.
