![]() ![]() We cannot ‘earn’ our way into Heaven, this is a gift of God, so no man or woman could ever boast they ‘earned’ a place in Heaven with God.įor by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.īut when we make this claim to non-Christians who believe salvation results from some human effort in combination with the work of God (Jewish believers or Mormons for example), we often hear the complaint orthodox Christianity seems to ignore the behavior of believers altogether. Our ‘works’ play no role in our salvation. When we say this, we mean we believe God sets us apart for salvation based not on anything we could do on our own effort, but based on the “free gift” of salvation offered by the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. As Christians, we believe that we are saved solely by the grace of God.
