You need not do any good work? What?

Aren’t we supposed to be G-d’s partners in making the world a better place and not just worry about salvation?

I’m glad I converted to Judaism because we are supposed to work together as G-d’s partners,not worry about the next life.

I’m not worried about going to hell,either.

After we are saved by faith in Christ Jesus we are then given good works to perform - but these works have nothing to do in regards to our salvation. Good work are not the cause of our salvation.

Rather, as we read in Ephesians 2:10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

God ordained good works that we should walk in them, which is our reasonable service out of the love we have for Him. I hope that helps to clarify.
