Why Heaven Won't Be Full of Boasters: Faith vs. Works

B6L3 Can you work your way to heaven? In this Bible study, Les Feldick explains why salvation is "faith plus nothing" and how trying to earn it actually puts you in debt to God. You will learn the true meaning of "propitiation" in Romans 3 and why boasting is completely excluded from the plan of salvation. Les Feldick uses the example of Abraham in Romans 4 to show that righteousness is credited by belief alone. He also explores Ephesians 2 to explain how we are God's "workmanship" (poem) created in Christ Jesus, and how Gentiles who were once "aliens" are now made near by the blood of Christ. 00:00 – Introduction: The Danger of Denominational Walls 01:29 – What is Propitiation?
