NOTHING TO BE ADDED TO FAITH TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!

NOTHING TO BE ADDED TO FAITH TO HAVE ETERNAL LIFE!

Unknown to many, Christianity is not about what to do to please God or to make heaven but to have faith in what Jesus did on our behalf to make us worthy of His Presence. There is nothing anyone could do to earn eternal life from God except to have faith in what Jesus did (Ephesians 12:8-9). In fact, the only thing that pleases God is our faith in what Jesus did for us and not in what we do to Him. I read it in my Bible that all our righteousness, our good works, are like a filthy rag! Once you believe that Jesus died for your sin, buried and rose up from the grave on the third day for your justification. No matter what happens to you unless you recant this or you fail to forgive others, your eternity is certain. Those who preach contrary messages are living in the Old Testament mentality (Galatians 3 is relevant). We are not asking you to go and be committing sins and be rejoicing in sin,doing that means you are not a Christian at all. It is a disservice to the blood of Jesus and the untold hardship Jesus suffered for us on the cross to be asking people to add works to their faith i order to make heaven! It is not biblical! That is nothing but pure religion! That is the life style of the Pharisees in Jesus time and they were all cursed by Him! Most if not all risk this curse. Apostle Paul warned preachers in Galatians against preaching against the Gospel of Grace (Galatians 1:6-9).
