So are you going to trust in your own good deeds or are you going to trust in the finished work of Christ and the work he does through you that he prepared in advance for you to do after you accept his free gift of salvation through him?

Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose

Whose doctrine do you trust?
The doctrine of Christ
The doctrine of the church
Which is it?

There isn't a single Christian I've ever heard of that does "no good works." Not one. Do you know any?
