10 (Ephesians 1:6; 2:8-10; 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 2:14; 3:5; James 2:22). Good Works No Plea for Salvation—Our acceptance with God is sure only through His beloved Son, and good works are but the result of the working of His sin-pardoning love. They are no credit to us, and we have nothing accorded to us for our good works by which we may claim a part in the salvation of our souls. Salvation is God’s free gift to the believer, given to him for Christ’s sake alone. The troubled soul may find peace through faith in Christ, and his peace will be in proportion to his faith and trust. He cannot present his good works as a plea for the salvation of his soul.{5BC 1122.1}

10 (Ef. 1,6; 2,8-10; 2 Tim. 1,9; Titus 2,14; 3,5; Jakob 2,22). Gode gerninger intet løfte for frelse. - Vor accept hos Gud er kun sikker gennem Hans elskede Søn, og gode gerninger er kun resultatet af gerningerne af Hans syndstilgivende kærlighed. De er ingen kredit for os, og vi har ingen gode gerninger som vi kan bruge til at forlange andel af frelsen for vore sjæle. Frelsen er Guds frie gave til den troende, givet til ham for Kristi skyld alene. Den fortrængte sjæl kan finde fred gennem troen på Kristus, og hans fred vil stå i forhold til hans tro og tillid. Han kan ikke frembringe sine gode gerninger som påskud for sin sjæle frelse.
