Revelation of John 22:12
22:12 a Christ is coming soon . . . to repay all people, not just on the basis of their profession of faith, but according to their deeds (see 2:23 b; 11:18 c; 14:13 d; 20:12-13 e; see also Prov 24:12 f; Matt 16:27 g; 2 Cor 5:10 h). Not every statement of belief is genuine (John 2:23-25 i); faith will show itself in actions (Jas 2:14-26 j). We are indeed saved by the grace and power of God in Christ. Our works do not save us, but they do indicate the seriousness of our confession and provide a just basis for our ultimate reward or punishment.
