Ephesians 2:9 (KJV) Not of works, lest any man should BOAST.BOAST: God will not allow you to have a part in your salvation, why? If you could work your way into heaven then you could boast about what you did to get there. God wouldn’t receive the glory !WORKMANSHIP: Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus UNTO good works, which God hath before ordained that we SHOULD walk in them.What happens at salvation? You become ‘his’ workmanship. You are ‘created in’ Christ Jesus at salvation. You can’t create! Now, read that again! You can’t create! Only God possesses the power of creation. If you believe you can create salvation then you believe salvation is evolutionary. God does not allow for any forms of evolution in his creation of the world or at salvation. The KJV Bible is explicit that you can NOT ‘create’ eternal life since it’s the Spirit which is the One who gives that life. Eternal Life can ONLY come from the work of Jesus at Calvary, who bore your sin, then after faith in the work of Christ, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit Now, after you are saved, through faith, then you are created in Christ Jesus UNTO good works. NEVER get the cart before the horse. Works come AFTER your salvation and never before. Works are part of your walk with God (After salvation) but never part of your faith to get you to God. If works could equal to salvation then God’s work wasn’t sufficient or efficient. That means His blood could not be offered as the atonement since your works are needed. That means even though Jesus was the sinless Lamb Of God, that his sacrifice wasn’t acceptable since God needs you as much as he needs his only begotten Son. You are saved by Grace through Faith, not saved by grace through the law of Good works.Religion has adapted the traditions of men over the words of God which produces modern day Pharisees.
