INTRO: This is the last message on 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly'. This time our subject is works. The subject of 'works' is an important subject in the Bible because according to the Bible, in every judgment people are judged according to their works. Now I want to say right off that there is no formal judgment where we are gathered to be judged as to whether we will go to heaven or not. That is a matter not determined by a formal judgment but by a personal decision with regard to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is sin that condemns us to hell. It is sin that must be dealt with in order for us to go to heaven. The Lord Jesus died on the cross for our sins. To make that death count on our behalf, we must do two things. Neither of these are 'works'. First, we must realize we are sinners and we must repent of our sins before God. Luke 13:3 and 13:5 says that unless we repent, we will perish. Second, we must believe on Jesus Christ and receive Him as our personal Savior (John 3:16 and 1:12). Whether we go to heaven or to hell is determined by the decision to repent and believe the Gospel.
