Salvation is not by works.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.
Not of works, lest anyone should boast;

Ephesians 2: 8-9

What Paul is saying here in Ephesians is that it is not by works that we are saved, ie, I can do the greater works of charity in the world with a heart full of desire to actually be practicing them, but these will not give me right to salvation, for everyone who believed in the death of the cross of Christ, otherwise there is no salvation.

Because we are saved through faith, and not by works? It is through faith that I believe in Jesus Christ, I believe that through His blood I was justified before the world, and my sins have been forgiven because of the shed blood of Christ on the cross of Calvary there, now I am saved by faith in God who sent His Son to die on the cross for me, and I believe that he loved me in a supernatural way, that does not compare to no love in the world the love of God for humanity. John 3:16. This is the faith for God's sake, we received grace in Christ your Son Jesus, and in Him all as believed and believes and is baptized will be saved, here we see Jesus saying that everyone who did good deeds will be saved, and / or are doing will be, but the death and faith in God by the grace of Jesus.

The reason we are not saved by works, so that man is not corrupt, because even in times of distress have their short memories, and say that was saved because he was practicing charity, and how it is presumptuous, will compete with others because the human race is such that it has a privileged position because it made larger than the other works, so that no one will brag about himself, and God has not given in the question or gives hints salvation for those who are practicing well. So I should stop practicing them? Of course not, each of you do, is a seed thrown to earth, and you will reap the good fruit you planted.

Look what the Bible says: "Let us not be weary in well doing, for in due time we shall reap, if we faint not." Galatians 6: 9. So I can not reap the rewards of the good after death, it is clear the word of God, that we shall reap here in life, and if by chance faint good works will not help us after death, let alone for salvation good works is to we enjoy in life, and not the post death because after death comes the final judgment, where all must appear before the Great Judge, and they will not be mentioned before him.

See this dialogue in which Jesus told in parables to his disciples, I tell parables. "'Son, remember that during your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things. But now he is comforted here and you are in agony. And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who wish to go from our side to yours or from your side to ours, can not. '"He said,' Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to go to my father's house, I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come into this place of torment. '"Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; who hear them.'
Luke 16: 19-29

Here we see in this parable Jesus himself telling his disciples that there is no purgatory, the parable is nothing more nor less how to illustrate something, so they understood what he was reporting, so that Jesus always spoke often by parables. When the rich man asked Abraham to his father that got wet the tip of his finger in water and refrescasse your language because the heat was immense, if we go back to the previous verse we see that the rich were not in purgatory, but in Hades, and what is Hades? Hades is the pre Hell. Where everyone who rejected Christ, ie not accepted him as their savior, not denied but even confessing that He is the only savior of their lives, and there is none else, or who else can save but Jesus Christ, who gave his own life to save us from the clutches of Satan, who is yet to be released and terrify all the earth, what we have out there today, are the fallen angels, called demons, then all who are in Hades are expecting Final Judgment, which will not be good for anyone there, so says the Bible.

Abraham was not in heaven, but I was in heaven, which is where we die with Christ, or die in Christ go to heaven, and there are waiting for the rapture of the bride of Christ which is the Church that has been washed and redeemed in the Blood of the Lamb, in order to get everyone together for the Wedding HIM.

Look who clamored for the rich Abraham, but Abraham said no he was not seeing that he had a gulf that separated them from each other, so it was impossible to do as he wanted. The rich fearing for his brothers, who asked to speak to his brothers that they should accept Jesus as the place he was in was terrible, and as someone who has died can not communicate with the living, Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the prophets; listen to them. 'So there is no way to communicate with the dead, they will never hear what you are saying!

Make a reflection of your life, and remember the good works does not lead anyone to salvation, only by accepting Christ, who alone can save and forgive sins, and that can save.
God bless you all.
