Faith Basics (Volume 1): Repentance from Dead Works

Establishing a sound spiritual foundation is very important because it sets the groundwork for the believer’s entire walk with the Lord. Just as a good foundation is a prerequisite for a sound building, so a proper spiritual foundation is vital for an effective, liberating and victorious Christian life.

No amount of religious work or obedience to God’s commandments on our part can BUY God’s blessings. JESUS bought these blessings for us at the cross. We can never say that through our works we merit any part of God’s salvation. God’s salvation is freely available.

We are “justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus” (Romans 3:24). “For by grace you have been saved, through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9).

You cannot have Jesus as Saviour but reject Him as Lord and Master. Jesus is a gracious and patient Master but there are times when He makes it very clear that we cannot go on with Him unless we let go of certain things and it is also by God’s grace that we can be willing to repent. It is a dangerous thing to refuse God’s grace when it comes to us. It is very important that we do not forget Jesus or His sacrifice. Instead, we must keep looking to Him; that there is the key to overcoming sin.
