What must I do to be saved? 3

 To include works in salvation ,is to say that His sacrifice is not sufficient to save,when Jesus cried it is finished,He meant just that.So let's consider the importance of works,they are  not important  for salvation,  but they are important.In his letter James points out that faith without works is a dead faith, bear in mind that James is writing to believers,so he is stressing what they should manifest after they are saved, so in 2v 18, he declares ,'Show me your faith', in other words he is saying ,show me the evidence of your faith. They are but an evidence that we are truly Christians,but a very important evidence.on judgement day,no empty profession will be be accepted, CP Matthew 25 v 34 ff. Our Saviour expects us to help people,to show them practical love. John the Baptist declared,'produce fruit in keeping with repentance',Luke 3 v 8.He went on to say say ,it is not enough to say Abraham is your father v8,so it is not enough to mouth words,like I am a Christian.I would just add living a debauched life,is an evidence that one is not a Christian. Matthew 24 v 48ff. We must take these things seriously,just to get a little bit   balance into what I am saying ,these are extreme examples, so let us not get paranoid. If you profess to be a Christian do your best to help others,and seek to be holy,none of us will be perfect,but we must seek to be.
