What is the difference between 'do' and 'done' in the context of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

'Do' signifies a religion of works, while 'done' reflects the completed work of Christ for salvation.

The sermon illustrates a critical distinction between 'do' and 'done,' where the former represents a performance-oriented religion focused on human effort, and the latter encapsulates the truth that salvation is accomplished through Christ’s finished work. The woman in the story poignantly describes this difference, emphasizing that many operate under the misconception that their works can contribute to salvation. In contrast, the Bible proclaims that Christ has completed the work needed for redemption, as supported by scriptures like Hebrews 10:10, which express the finality of His sacrifice. This is significant because it points believers toward reliance on Christ rather than their efforts, ultimately bringing peace and assurance, knowing that their salvation does not hinge on their performance but is fully realized in Christ.
