What does the Bible say about relying on our works?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against trusting in our works and emphasizes that reliance should be solely on the Lord's works.

The Bible clearly cautions against trusting in personal works or treasures as a means of salvation. In Jeremiah 48:7, we see that those who trust in their own efforts are destined to fail, as their reliance on self-deception will lead to captivity. True faith requires us to trust in the Lord's works, particularly the finished work of Jesus Christ, rather than our own. This reflection leads to self-examination, reminding us that salvation is not something we can earn but is a gift from God based solely on His grace.
