Actions Over Words: Why Works Matter in Your Faith #shorts

Lesson Transcript

It's just words. It's not in your heart. Okay. We've read this before. Go back to it because we're talking about works now. God will render to every man according to His works. All right? So Paul, works is not a bad word. Even if you're talking about the Law of Moses, it's not bad. It's only bad if you think that's how you get saved. The Law of Moses was something good. God gave it for a reason. Okay? Again, according to His works.

Now, some translations, because this contradicts Martin Luther, doesn't contradict Paul. He's the one writing. It contradicts Martin Luther. Instead of putting works there, they put deeds. It's the same word as works. Same Greek word, but they switch on there just so you don't think works can somehow be good. It's a little dishonest. If you're going to translate the Bible, translate it honestly. I mean, I don't like it when translators do that.
