We are not saved by our own works but by God's grace.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus UNTO GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
(Ephesians 2:8-10)
As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
(Romans 3:10)
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
(Isaiah 64:6)
Nevertheless, God has prepared good works which He'll require of us when we get to Heaven.
What good works will you have to show the Master?
