RELIGION IS MAN ATTEMPTING TO EARN SALVATION

Romans 10:1-3 - "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.  For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.  For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God."  

SALVATION IS A FREE GIFT TO THOSE WHO TRUST IN JESUS

Matthew 6:33 - "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness...."

Titus 3:5-8 - "Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior; that being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.  This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men."

Romans 3:20-27 - "Therefore by the deeds (works) of the Law there shall no flesh be justified in His sight:  for by the Law is the knowledge of sin (revealed - see Gal. 3:24-25).  But now the righteousness of God without (apart from) the Law is manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;  even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference (between the Jew and the Gentile):  for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely by His grace (unmerited favor) through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:  Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation (full payment of our sin debt) through faith in His blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; to declare, I say, at this time His righteousness:  that He might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.  Where is boasting then?  It is excluded.  By what Law?  Of works?  Nay:  but by the law of faith."

Ephesians 2:8-10 - "For by grace (unmerited favor) are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  not of works, lest any man should boast.  For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

Philippians 3:8-9 - "Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord:  for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the Law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith...."

2 Timothy 1:7-9 - "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.  Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner:  but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the Gospel according to the power of God; Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace...."

THE WORKS OF BELIEVERS ALWAYS GLORIFY GOD!

Matthew 5:16 - "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Who is in heaven."

James 2:17-20 - "...faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.  Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works:  show me thy faith without thy works (faith that is in word only), AND I WILL SHOW THEE MY FAITH BY MY WORKS.  Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well:  the devils also believe, and tremble.  But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without (that has no) works is dead?"
