Many people believed that good works are enough for them to be saved.But it is said in Ephesians 28-9, For by grace you have been saved through faith, not of yourselves, it is a gift from God so that no one can boast. B. Our good works cannot save us because even our good works are also influenced by our needs, ideologies and beliefs.

MY TESTIMONY I have been a Christian since I was in kindergarten. But I came to really understand Gods word when was in high school. But understanding is different from actually obeying Gods commands. Like a nybody in this room, I was really struggling. Having a knowledge of what is right and evil makes me more accountable of our actions. Which is more hurting? When your grade 1 friend had left you? Or when your best friend since grade 1 until now had suddenly left you with no explanation? It is the latter. Why?Because you have known and understand unwrap that friends really dont moreover do that. Same is true with our relationship with God. When we were little, it was okay that we were not praying everyday, meditating on his words or obeying his commands because we still did not understand the real meaning of Christianity. Which is actually living life sentence like Christ. In high school, was a church gore and even joined the activities of the church. But was not actually doing everything that he said in his word. Was actually doing a lot of things that you also are doing. But nevertheless, God has still been very faithful to me.He caused me to finish on top of our class even when was not faithful. That chapter of my life was also the time when we almost lost everything we own. We lost the house, the lumber yard, the pawnshop, the cars, and the hardware. If God was not with us, we might have also lost our family. No matter how sinful, unfaithful and hard-headed we are, God will find a guidance to reach out to you. When I started college, I came to know Christ more through the campus crusade for Christ. It was easier to potpourri because I have people around me ho are supporting me and joining me in my bye with Christ.We were winning souls in the campus. I felt very secure and fulfilled that time. Was being used by God in his ministry. But then again, the college years had to end. When I was starting medicine, I went to another school and lost contact with my campus crusade friends. I was becoming busy reaching for my dream of becoming a doctor when was beginning to lose my relationship with God. I Was not as disobedient as Was when was in high school. But then again, I was spending most of my time in school. I became just a church gore. I was till able to finish well through Gods faithfulness.When I was in Dave last year, where was having my internship for one year. This was the time when began to slowly lose my sight of God. I was back into my old egotism or even worse. But even though this times, God has remained faithful to me and my family. Was able to finish my internship and passed the exam. I may have failed God and my family several times in my life. But God never fails. He never gave up on me. He has always given many chances to straighten up my life. I admit that at the moment, I am still getting back on the right sign and it is very hard to do so.
