Is There a Chance For Heaven only by Works?

Last night my message again was from Romans 9.  I went back to the text again  to get a better understanding of what Paul was saying.

There are two reason why people get saved.  One: God Himself (9:8,24) has chosen him unconditionally (Romans 9:11, 21-23)  and has called him  (which means God as saved Him) to Himself (Romans 9:8, 24)  God is the primary actor in this matter of salvation.

But there is another reason that we must view: In order for God to save anyone, that person must “attain righteousness” without God could never save anybody.

So in Romans 9:30 Gentiles, who id not go after righteousness, nor did they know they could at one point, attained righteousness. Note that the got this righteousness by faith.”

This is why they were saved. The Jew believed they received righteousness by their keeping the Law.

While it is true to say God elects men to salvation they still have to attain righteousness by faith.  And men’s righteousness can not bring about his salvation.  Man has to receive a righteousness that is not his own.

THEREFORE NO PERSON CAN BE SAVED BY DOING SOMETHING TO EARN IT.
