Works Salvation?
FEBRUARY 12 & 13, 2022
Daily Reading – Exodus 36-38 / Matthew 25:31-46
Daily Reading – No Reading on Sunday
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Matthew 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
I know some have read this passage of scripture and have seen it as a works salvation verse. They understand it to say that if you do these good deeds you make into heaven, and if you do not, you will not get in. However, you must read it all to understand it.
We see in Matthew 25:37 those who had done the good deeds did not even realize that they had done them. They were not working for salvation; they were serving because they were saved.
The parable shines a light on the heart of the believer and unbeliever. Those who have trusted Christ have been given the Holy Spirit to reside in them. They act different because they are made new and are different.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Ask yourself, am I working to earn my salvation, or serving because of my salvation?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in the heart of your Pastor. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given to your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.
