It is the common teaching of
so many religions, as well as being the common-sense notion most people have –
the way of salvation is by being good. Although this is widely held, sincerely
believed and often preached, it’s not biblically based. The Bible stands apart
from every other message and says that salvation is not by good works. In fact,
the Bible teaches that if you seek salvation by good works you will get
neither.
To help you understand what
I mean, I will tell you about a conversation I recently had with a very
religious man (Alan).
