Only one way to salvation- trust and belief in the Gospel of the LORD JESUS CHRIST. Romans 10:9-12; Ephesians 2:8,9.

Giving, witnessing, making disciples, praying, teaching Bible, preaching, etc are works "OF" righteousness; not works "FOR" righteousness.

May we be faithful in our walk with CHRIST. November 16, 2023
