Gods part and mans part in salvation?
If God thought that man could, even in a small way, do something to gain salvation, He would have empowered man enough to save himself rather than allow his only begotten son, our Lord Jesus Christ, die the gruesome death he died for all of us. To say that man has a part to do in Gods plans of salvation other than to completely trust Christ, is heretically wrong. Mans part is to believe in Christ completely for salvation. Anything else we do for salvation is to add to Christs work on the cross and to the gospel. People who say we have to do something else other than to believe are like the Jews. They thought that they can keep the law and attain salvation. Hence Christ became a stumbling block to them. In the same way, people who add to Christs work on the cross, stumble.
Habakkuk 2:4 - 'the just shall by faith'. In whose sight are they just? In Gods sight. It says that those who are considered righteous in Gods sight, live by faith in Him. They trust God completely to save them, like Abraham. The very nature of faith looks toward God for salvation. It never looks to itself. Therefore it is the humble who have faith rather than the proud.And this is how every human,ever since the begining of time has been saved. By grace through faith.

AK LIE #1
If God thought that man could, even in a small way, do something to gain salvation, He would have empowered man enough to save himself.
GOD’S TRUTH #1 (PHIL 2:12-13)
[12] Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always OBEYED, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence,WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION with fear and trembling.
[13] For it is GOD which WORKETH in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Notice the 2 parts "YOU work out your own salvation and "GOD who works in you".
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto ALL THEM that OBEY HIM;
(HEB 5:9)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
GRACE IS GOD’S PART…FAITH is MAN’S PART to Salvation in (EPH 2:8)
Seeing ye have purified your souls in OBEYING THE TRUTH through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently: (1 PET 1:22)
Ak Lie #2 To say that man has a part to do in Gods plans of salvation other than to completely trust Christ, is heretically wrong .
AK since you are telling lies about GOD’s word on SALVATION and the CHURCH OF CHRIST…
I have (2) final questions for you
1.“What shall the end be of those that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF GOD? (1 Peter 4:17)
2.WHAT DOES GOD mean when he says in (2 Thess 1:6-9)
[6] Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation “to them that trouble you”;
[7] And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
[8] In flaming fire TAKING VENEGANCE ON THEM that KNOW NOT GOD, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST:
[9] Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
AK has mention in 2 Thess 1:6 Please “stop troubling” those in the Church of CHRIST who simply want to FOLLOW and OBEY THEIR LORD AND SAVIOUR.”
My only suggestion to “all who have a ear to hear the word” that you disregard AK and simply “OBEY the GOSPEL of OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST.
AK Lie #2 To say that man has a part to do in Gods plans of salvation other than to completely trust Christ, is heretically wrong .
AK, GOD IN HIS HOLY WORD HAS SET THE STANDARDS BY WHICH WE ARE SAVED. You better OBEY HIM and HIS GOSPEL or you’ll face his Vengeance TOO. Just a little warning.
OBEY THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS BY BELIEVING, REPENTING, CONFESSION AND BEING BAPTIZED INTO CHRIST.
BELIEVE AND BAPTIZED: JESUS CHRIST himself said “He that BELIEVETH and is BAPTIZED shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.” (MARK 16:16)
REPENTANCE and BAPTIZED: “Then Peter said unto them, REPENT, and be BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (ACTS 2:38)
CONFESSION AND BAPTIZED: [35] Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and PREACHED unto him JESUS.
[36] And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?
[37] And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said,
“I BELIEVE THAT JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD”.
[38] And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he BAPTIZED him.
[39] And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way REJOICING. (ACTS 8:35-39)
O FOOLISH AK "they have not all obeyed the gospel." (Rom 10:16)
