We are not saved by works. We are saved by the free gift of grace. BUT to whom is this free gift given? The book of Revelation was written long after Christ rose from the dead. The “many” claim your works are not important to God. So lets see what the written WORD says to the churches about your works.
REVELATION 1 [20] The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the SEVEN CHURCHES: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
REVELATION 2 [1]Unto the angel of THE CHURCH OF EPHESUS write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; [2] I KNOW THY WORKS, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
REVELATION 2 [8] And unto the angel of THE CHURCH IN SMYRNA write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; [9] I KNOW THY WORKS........
REVELATION 2 [12] And to the angel of THE CHURCH IN PERGAMOS write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges; [13] I KNOW THY WORKS...........
REVELATION 2:18-19 (KJV) [18] And unto the angel of THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; [19] I KNOW THY WORKS, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, AND THY WORKS; and the last to be more than the first.
REVELATION 3 [1] And unto the angel of THE CHURCH IN SARDIS write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I KNOW THY WORKS, that thou hast a name that thou livest, AND ART DEAD.
REVELATION 3 [7] And to the angel of THE CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; [8] I KNOW THY WORKS.......
REVELATION 3 [14] And unto the angel of THE CHURCH OF THE LAODICEANS write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; [15] I KNOW THY WORKS, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. [16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I WILL SPUE THEE OUT OF MY MOUTH.
The very first thing said to all the churches..... I know thy works!
PSALM 78 [1] Give ear, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth.[2] I WILL OPEN MY MOUTH IN A PARABLE: I will utter dark sayings of old:........
[7]
THAT THEY MIGHT SET THEIR HOPE IN GOD, AND NOT FORGET THE WORKS OF GOD, BUT KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS:[8] And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.[9] The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.[10] They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;[11] And forgat his works, and his wonders that he had shewed them.
We all should know who opened His mouth using parables. YUP. Jesus Christ
