Another Scripture is found in Titus 3:4-6, "But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour."
In fact, these verses tell us that no 'works of righteousness', not even one, will entitle us or enable us towards God's Salvation - salvation is all of God's Mercy shown towards us, where regeneration & renewal is the outcome through Christ's Blood & Work of His Holy Spirit. If even one effort on our part is made to secure, or make doubly sure, of our salvation, then salvation is by our efforts which most religions pursue, but never realized. Then salvation comes through man & God's Grace can never work for them.
Ephesians 2:8-10 "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."
In fact, these verses tell us that no 'works of righteousness', not even one, will entitle us or enable us towards God's Salvation - salvation is all of God's Mercy shown towards us, where regeneration & renewal is the outcome through Christ's Blood & Work of His Holy Spirit. If even one effort on our part is made to secure, or make doubly sure, of our salvation, then salvation is by our efforts which most religions pursue, but never realized.

Great scripture for the post.
God bless.
