For the year beginning around May, 2004, I was forced to assess my Bible and faith foundations. I forced myself to examine the works perspective that suggests that good works are a contributory element of salvation. The themes of these postings are that Jesus did it all. I found that the embodiment of my Biblical observations for this theme begin with God's redemption of Adam and Eve (their efforts - fig leaves - were rejected) and also with God's redemption of Isaac.

1 Thessalonians 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

Genesis 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
