Exactly, thank you. Many of these verses are saying things such as works will show that you have truly turned from the world, because repentance is just as important. If we turn to the world and just say we have faith without any repentance, no change, then faith is useless because you aren't a true believer; faith and repentance go hand in hand, they can't be separated. Some are saying exactly what they sound like; God will judge us based on work. And since we are criminals, none of our work is good enough, because God is a judge, and we're guilty. But because Jesus paid our fine, he can legally dismiss our case if we accept the gift. And then others are talking about the gold remaining after the straw and hay burn up in the fire. Works we do for God are good, and we will be rewarded for them in heaven. I really do appreciate you getting these verses for me, Dark.
