I've been accused by some professed "Christians" that I promote a "gospel of works" because... I point out that Scripture commands Christians to obey the law after repenting. Really, I'm supposedly propagating a "works-based salvation"? Let's take a look at the following verses in the New Testament! (I will add on to this over time)
- John 14:15: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments."
- 1 John 2:4: "Whoever says “I know him” but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him,"
- 1 John 3:6: "No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him."
No, I don't believe that works save. It's repentance and faith that saves, and it's godly works which demonstrate a person is saved after they repent and receive the Holy Spirit.
