You are saved by grace

    2. Phil 2:5-11

You are saved by faith

    1. Rom 1:17
    2. Your faith is in the finished work of what Christ did at Calvary, Rom 10:5-10
    3. The lost don’t see grace for eternal life as a present possession; see it as a temporary state with the final gift of eternal life after death
    4. If that is true, then you are saved by works
    5. Rom 11:6, it’s one or the other: grace or works

    2. Gal 2:16
    3. Rom 4:5

Once you have grace, the gift of Jesus and eternal life, then you work

The grace doesn’t stop at death but goes on through eternity (v. 7)
