What must I do to be saved?2

We continue on in considering the question what must I do to be saved?,it is vital that we get this right,if we don't we will not be saved. Any so called,' adds on's', undermine the finished work of Christ, must be rejected,because it becomes another gospel . The book of Galatians was written to a church that were in  danger of turning to another gospel ,which in fact was not a gospel,there were those who were teaching that faith in Christ was not enough you needed to be circumcised.They were seeking to draw back these believers to a gospel based on the law, so they are told,' Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God , because the righteous shall live by faith . ( 3 v 11) How was Abraham justified?,the answer is,'He believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness'. ( 3 v 6)So like Abraham ,the moment we trust Jesus, we are saved, there can be no add on's. We read in the book of Jonah that salvation is of the Lord ( 2 v 9)it means what it says,the man who said this ,could do nothing to save himself,God had to do it all.  The work of salvation is unique without equal or like,we read in Hebrews 9 v 22,'Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness'. When Christ died on the cross, it was a sacrifice for sin, nothing but the blood of Jesus can save ,when I say nothing I mean nothing. It is important to add,that sacrifice cannot be repeated,Christ was sacrificed once to take away sin ( 9 v 22), Christ put an end of sacrifices, by His one time sacrifice. CP Hebrews 10 v 1 - 14 .So were do works fit in?,we will look at this next time.
