Hi Ya'll,

Some folks wish to argue over the subject of Grace vs Works as to which may apply to our Salvation.

Can we know the Truth?

Those on the Grace only argument may state some of these verses to support their argument:

Romans 11:6
New King James Version (NKJV)

6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.[a] But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Romans 4:4
New King James Version (NKJV)

4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt.

Now we need to consider this verse:
2 Timothy 1:9
New King James Version (NKJV)

9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,

This indicates that our Salvation starts from the point of Jesus Christ's Grace for us, but then we may have to change our ways to obtain this Salvation, as this verse states.

Matthew 24:13
New King James Version (NKJV)

13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

This next verse now identifies that we must do something:

Revelation 2:26
King James Version (KJV)

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

Cause and Effect!

Smile Tis your choice.
