Salvation Includes Works as Seen in The New Testament: God is the Same Today Yesterday & Forever

The Imploring God of the New Testament

 

 

 

Works are the other aspect of grace. If grace is what God does for us, works are what God asks us to do for him.
This document is to refute the idea that the Old Testament God is the strict / imploring God, then changes in the New Testament. For more treatment of this topic, see my article “The Graceful God of the Old Testament: Scripture References”
This is to show how works have always been expected of God’s people, including New Testament times, and modern times. This is in opposition to the popular idea that by grace alone we are saved. I am bold in this, not thinking it a crime to rely on the scriptures rather than the creeds of men!
For a composition showing how God has always been graceful with his children, see document “Scriptures on Grace (God’s works for us) from the Old Testament (showing God does not change)” at this link: https://richardsonstudies.wordpress.com/2016/04/21/scriptures-on-grace-the-works-of-god-for-us-from-the-old-testament-shows-god-is-unchanging-2/
