Actually I believe you don't properly understand the
Biblical concept of "works. Pauls talk about two different type of works. Let's take a look at one in (Gal. 6
(v.3)
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. (v.4)
But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
The book says let every man prove his own work, and if your work is good then you will rejoice in it. (v.5)
For every man shall bear his own burden. That’s right; every man must bear his own burden. You mean you thought that all you had to do was confess the name of Jesus and that was it? Brothers and sisters you must work to get salvation. (v.7)
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. God is not to be played with. Whatsoever you plant, that’s what you are going to reap. Be it good works unto eternal life, or evil works unto eternal damnation. The choice is yours, and your works belong to you.
Now let's at a different type of works Paul talks about in Romans 6: And if by grace, then is it no more of
works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of
works, then is it no more grace: otherwise
work is no more
work.
This type of works Paul is talking about is referring to the animal Sacrificial law, because this is the works the priest did before Jesus died on the cross, which gave us grace and more. Now let's begin by taking a look at both of the laws and how they worked together. We will see there were
two laws given to Moses, they were the
commandments and the sacrificial law. Watch how they worked together.
And the
LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the
children of Israel, saying,
If a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and shall do against any of them: (Leviticus 4:1-2) The law in the scriptures above is the commandments.
Notice something else very important in these two scriptures. It states, "if a soul shall sin through ignorance." Notice that the scripture did not says on purpose. Why? There is no sacrifice for a sin that is committed willfully. Let's find out what was to be done if a person committed a sin against the Lord unintentionally. Let's skip down to the 27th verse and take a look at the second law (which is the sacrificial law).
And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth somewhat against
any of the commandments of the LORD concerning things which ought not to be done, and be guilty; Or if his sin, which he hath
sinned, come to his knowledge: then
he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and slay the sin offering in the place of the burnt offering. And the
priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the
altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar. (Leviticus 4:27-30)
When Paul talks about the end of the law or works in regard of the law he's referring to this.
