If Salvation is entirely without human effort 'not of works', Why must Repentance be proven by deeds? Acts26:18-21 and why does Js2:24 speak of Abraham being Saved by what he Did and Not by Faith alone? The free gift is Remission of past sins, Rom3:25, not covering of all future sins. The 'Works' spoken of by Paul are the works of the law, Not the Deeds of Faith. He said eternal life would be given to those who by Patience Continuance in doing good obey God from their heart. Rom2:7, 6:16, and faith 'works' by love Gal5:6. If man has to make no effort whatsoever in the process of Salvation why does the Bible constantly tell us to 'work together' with God so as to not receive His Grace in Vain? 2Cor6:1. 'Synergy' is effort and requires Ability and that's why we will finally be Judged by our DEEDS done in Faith! Rev22:11-14, 1Pet1:17, Jh5:28-29.
