READ: Ephesians 2:1-10
By grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works. Ephesians 2:8-9
The name of a pretty Bavarian town in Germany shares the name of a place of horror Dachau. A museum on the grounds of this infamous Nazi concentration camp attracts many World War II history buffs.
As you look around, it would be hard to miss the misleading words welded to an iron gate: *Arbeit Macht Frei.* This phrase Work Makes You Free was just a cruel lie to give false hope to those who entered this place of death.
Many people today have false hope that they can earn a place in heaven by working at being good or by doing good things. Gods standard of perfection, however, requires a totally sinless life. Theres no way any of us can ever be good enough. It is only through the sacrifice of the sinless Saviour that we are made righteous. God made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor. 5:21).
Eternal life is given because of Gods gift of grace not because of our good works (Eph. 2:8-9).
Dont let Satan trick you by giving you false hope that your good works will save you. It is only through Jesus work on the cross that you can have real freedom. Cindy Hess Kasper
Accept the teaching of the world
And hopeless you will be,
But trust in Gods eternal plan
If you want life thats free. Branon
We are not saved by good works, but by Gods work.
