Is Eternal Life Really Free? How do we receive eternal life? View 1:Faith + Works

Is Eternal Life Really Free? If any one saith, that by faith alone the impious is justified; in such wise as to mean, that nothing else is required to co- operate in order to the obtaining the grace of Justification, and that it is not in any way necessary, that he be prepared and disposed by the movement of his own will; let him be anathema. Council of Trent

Is Eternal Life Really Free? You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. James 2:24

Is Eternal Life Really Free? For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 3:28

Is Eternal Life Really Free? For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8 - 10

Is Eternal Life Really Free? So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. Romans 11:5 - 6

Is Eternal Life Really Free? What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness. Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due.

Is Eternal Life Really Free? And to the one who does not work but believes in him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works: Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.” Romans 4:1 - 8

Is Eternal Life Really Free? How do we receive eternal life? View 1:Faith + Works View 2:Faith + Baptism

Is Eternal Life Really Free? And Peter said to them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38

Is Eternal Life Really Free? While Peter was still saying these things, the Holy Spirit fell on all who heard the word. And the believers from among the circumcised who had come with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was poured out even on the Gentiles. For they were hearing them speaking in tongues and extolling God.

Is Eternal Life Really Free? Then Peter declared, Can anyone withhold water for baptizing these people, who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have? And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to remain for some days. Acts 10:

Is Eternal Life Really Free? For Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. 1 Corinthians 1:17

Is Eternal Life Really Free? For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, Jews or Greeks, slaves or free and all were made to drink of one Spirit. 1 Corinthians 12:13

Is Eternal Life Really Free? How do we receive eternal life? View 1:Faith + Works View 2:Faith + Baptism View 3:Faith + "Repentance"

Is Eternal Life Really Free? “Saving faith is no simple thing. It has many dimensions. Believe on the Lord Jesus is a massive command. It contains a hundred other things….We must believe on Jesus and receive him and turn from our sin and obey him and humble ourselves like little children and love him more than we love our family, our possessions or own life. This is what it means to be converted to Christ. This alone is the way of life everlasting.” John Piper, Desiring God,

Is Eternal Life Really Free? How is repentance used in Scripture? To call Jewish people to turn to the kingship of Jesus (Mt 4:17). To call unbelievers to turn from idols and accept Jesus (Acts 17:29-31). To warn of the wrath of God that comes upon sin and urge change (Romans 2:4). To urge believers to avoid discipline through repentance (2 Cor 12:21).

Is Eternal Life Really Free? Never used in Galatians or John. Only once used in all of Romans (2:4). Never used to refer to a commitment to stop sinning in order to be saved.

Is Eternal Life Really Free? But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12

Is Eternal Life Really Free? “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Is Eternal Life Really Free? And they sang a new song, saying, Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. Revelation 5:9
