5.WORKS FOR SALVATION
Both Chritians and Jews depend on works for salvation. Jews depend on their own deeds for salvation, whereas Christians depend on the deeds of Christ for salvation,
AND IF CHRIST HAS NOT BEEN RAISED, OUR PREACHING IS IN VAIN AND SO IS YOUR FAITH
{1 Corinthians 15:14}
FOR WHAT I RECEIVED I PASSED ONTO YOU AS OF FIRST IMPORTANCE: THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES
{1 CORINTHIANS 15:3}
There is no one we can depend on for salvation other than the Lord Almighty, Allah the Exalted. what has He said about eternal salvation and the ramifications of accepting it?
THAT NO ONE MAY CARRY THE BURDEN (SIN) OF ANOTHER; THAT MAN WILL HAVE NOTHING BUT WHAT HE STRIVES FOR IN LIFE
Quran 53:38-39
The Prophet Muhammad (s) also said :
NO ONE WILL ENTER PARADISE WITH HIS DEEDS.
The Companions of the Prophet(s)used to teach their students to say that:
THEY WERE SAVED FROM THE FIRE BY GRACE AND PARDON ADMITTED INTO PARADISE BY MERCY AND ARRANGED IN DIFFERENT LEVELS AND RANKS BASED ON DEEDS.
With this said what DIRECT promise from your Lord do you have that you will enter His presence?
