About this episode
Pastor Roderick Webster discusses whether bad works can undo the grace of salvation, emphasizing justification by faith through Scripture.
Can your bad works undo what grace already did? That is the question Pastor Roderick Webster tackles in this powerful daily devotion from Words From The Word, drawing from Romans 3, Romans 4, Romans 11, Galatians 2, 2 Timothy 1, and Titus 3 in the King James Version. You might be asking: If I was not saved by my good works, can I be lost by my bad works? Does God require me to earn or maintain my salvation? Why could Abraham not boast before God? What does it really mean to be justified by faith? In this episode, Pastor Webster walks through the Scriptures to show: - Justification comes through faith, not the works of the law, as confirmed in Romans 4 and Galatians 2:16 - Grace and works are mutually exclusive — if it is grace, it cannot be works, and if it is works, it cannot be grace - Abraham's faith, not his performance, was counted as righteousness - No flesh can glory before God — all boasting belongs to Christ alone - Salvation is unto good works, not salvation by good works If you have ever wondered whether your failures could cancel your salvation, this devotion is for you.
