The Apostle Paul exhorted the churches in Galatia, “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up” (Galatians 6:9). Although our good works will bring forth seasons of blessings if we are consistent in what we are tasked to do, our good works alone will not bring us salvation.

How Are We Saved?

For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit (Titus 3:5).

Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved (Romans 10:9). And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Salvation is a free gift from God (Romans 5:15). For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people (Titus 2:11).
