Ephesians 2:8-9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.”
There are many false prophet pastors today, who are horribly teaching that if you are really saved you're behavior will change. That is totally unbiblical as far as knowing you are saved. Eternal life is a free gift from God the Bible says (Romans 5:15-18). It is free to you and me because Jesus, the Christ, the only biological (begotten) Son of God paid for it.
Salvation is not a reward for the righteous, it is a gift for the guilty!
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
Turning away from sinful ways would be a work. Faith puts all of the merit where it belongs, on the object of our faith, Jesus and His work.
If to “repent” means to forsake our sinful ways TO BE SAVED, but Jesus already paid for our sins by dying on the cross, then what are we repenting from?
The true Gospel always points you to CHRIST; a false gospel always points to YOU.
