Many Christians today and possibly the great majority of them do not fully understand the nature of grace and the part it plays in salvation without mixing it with sanctification. I hope to show that Scripture treats salvation and sanctification as completely separate and distinct operations of God in the life of His people.
This book is an attempt to present a paradigm that stresses the dire need of God’s people to consider the eternal plan of God with the understanding that there is a different basis for determining ones salvation and ones status as an overcomer. While the basis for the eternal salvation of all born again believers is completely and solely by grace through faith, the status as overcomers, the reception of rewards subsequent to our earthly walk, and the privilege of “reigning with Christ” during His millennial reign is completely and solely by works. Simply put, it is the understanding that grace is for salvation and works are for reward and kingdom privileges. It is also the understanding that neither a lack of “good works” nor any “works of the flesh” can cause a child of God to forfeit his salvation but do result in discipline, punishment and a loss of rewards during and after the earthly state.
