Thank you for the video and considering distributing rewards to those in need.

I must respectfully disagree that our works have ANY bearing on the inheritance that Christ has given His saints as a free gift.

That is not to say a gospel believer will not walk in good works as He hath ordained we should from the beginning (Eph. 2:20) but rather it is not these which determine our salvation for such is the power of God and not man.

Gospel assent is an absolute impossibility of the flesh for we all are born under the same curse of Adam being unable to discern what is good. Thus, the works we do in Him may, on the surface, appear identical to the works of reprobates and the yet to be concerted.

The difference is a matter of motive and this motive is distinct when it is comes from the Spirit that testifies of Him and His death being our righteousness and that alone. When a heart is converted, we grow in grace and knowledge according to His will.

This is a lifelong process and until we are granted our glorified bodies we will still content with our fleshly nature. This keeps us humble as did Paul's thorn in the flesh knowing that His grace is sufficient.

When we stumble and fall in matters of conduct, He is there to pick us up and understanding His faithfulness we can rest in Him for He is our Sabbath.

Conversely, they they do not rest in His finished work will continue to have dread that perhaps their works are not good enough. This is tantamount to unbelief.

In conclusion, no matter what we do as vessels of mercy, we have full assurance that we are secure because of His work and not in measure as a result of our own.

We are perfect because He is perfect. We sin not when we place our full trust in His death and give Him all the glory in what it has accomplished.

I pray ye consider the words I am sharing. I am but an imperfect wretch but it is my deepest conviction that my LORD has caused me to believe upon His perfect work. Not by my wisdom but through His sovereign grace. May He receive all the glory. Amen

Note: I did not watch the entire video but will try to revisit and correct myself if it is revealed to me that I had misjudged but from the introduction.

💥The Biblical Truth on Faith Alone, Good Works, and Salvation💥

Perhaps one of the most remembered personalities in the New Testament is the thief that was crucified alongside the Lord Jesus Christ, not for anything else but, because of the enviable assurance of salvation which no less than the Lord Jesus Christ gave him in his final hour.

Remember, before the thief died, he believed that Jesus was the Savior, and he even asked Him to remember him when He comes into His kingdom. And Christ told him that instance that he would be with Him in paradise.

LUKE 23:42-43
42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily, I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Sadly, lots of preachers have capitalized on this particular incident to convince people that, to merit salvation, it is enough to just believe and have faith. They would even add that salvation is God’s gift to man, so there is no need for man to do good works anymore to obtain it. Again, they would make reference to that particular thief who didn’t do anything good in his life and yet he earned Christ’s assurance that he would be with Him in paradise simply because he believed.

Besides, according to those preachers, man’s righteousness is like filthy rags to God, citing the prophet Isaiah. So, no amount of good works could ever make a person appear righteous in the sight of God because his righteousness is just like filthy rags for Him.

Of course, those are all very wrong teachings. Please, allow me to clarify this matter.

First of all, let us go over what Isaiah 64:6 says and see for yourselves how those preachers had grossly misinterpreted the verse.
