AMEN AND AMEN.
That would make it salvation by works, if that were the case.

However there are Christians who are "laboring" outside of the rest of Calvary, worrying and fretting over their salvation, and attempting to win souls under such circumstances. They are not in the rest of Calvary, and such attempts can lead to frustration, not being rooted in what Jesus Christ already did, but rooted in a performance based mentality.

And their accomplishments will be very skimpy and small. Flesh simply cannot do the job.

Great to hear from you! God is good. In our work, another soul who wandered away 17 years ago is now coming to services with a renewed hope and hunger for God!
