The Bible says that we believers are created for good works. What good works?
The answer is NOT law keeping. Not maintenance of our salvation through obedience to the commandments.
Giving to and loving others, spreading the good news of God's grace, and being a light in the darkness are all good works. We believers want to do those. However, we are NOT required to.
John 6:28-29 NASB
Therefore they said to Him, โWhat are we to do, so that we may accomplish the works of God?โ [29] Jesus answered and said to them, โThis is the work of God, ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐บ whom He has sent.โ
It is the will of God that we place our faith in Jesus alone for our salvation and our continued right standing with God. That's it!! Do that, and you receive ETERNAL life.
John 6:38-40 NASB
For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me. [39] And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that of everything that He has given Me I will lose nothing, but will raise it up on the last day. [40] For ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ, that ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ผ ๐๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฏ๐ฒ๐น๐ถ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ถ๐บ ๐๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฒ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐น๐ถ๐ณ๐ฒ, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.โ
Jesus and him crucified is the correct object of faith. Nothing added. Nothing taken away. Only Christ and Christ alone.
