Holiness is not a means to an end—your good works do not save you

-
"“Holiness is not a means to an end—your good works do not save you. Rather, holiness is part of the end itself—you were saved in order to do good works, “which God prepared in advance that you should walk in them" (Ephesians 2:10). Good works do not achieve salvation (or final salvation-J.F.). Good works are the fruits and results of saving faith." ~Walter Marshall".

Because he has been ordained by God the Father, and anointed with the Holy Spirit, 1 to be our chief Prophet and Teacher, 2 who has fully revealed to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our redemption; 3 our only High Priest, 4 who by the one sacrifice of his body has redeemed us, 5 and who continually intercedes for us before the Father; 6 and our eternal King, 7 who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who defends and preserves us in the redemption obtained for us. 8 ~Scripture Proof~ 1.Ps 45:7 (Heb 1:9); Is 61:1 (Lk 4:18); Lk 3:21, 22. 2.Deut 18:15 (Acts 3:22). 3.Jn 1:18; 15:15. 4.Ps 110:4 (Heb 7:17). 5.Heb 9:12; 10:11-14. 6.Rom 8:34; Heb 9:24; 1 Jn 2:1. 7.Zech 9:9 (Mt 21:5); Lk 1:33. 8.Mt 28:18-20; Jn 10:28; Rev 12:10, 11.
