Is believing/faith a work ?

[brightfame52]

In Titus 2:14, Jesus gave himself not just to redeem us from all lawlessness but also in order to purify for himself a people of his own possession who are zealous for doing good works, so the way to believe in what Jesus spent his ministry teaching and in what he accomplished through the cross is by repenting and becoming zealous for doing good works in obedience to God's law (Acts 21:20)

Again The death of Christ saved from not only the penalty of sin, but the power of sin as well, it saved them He died for from all the effects of sin 100%

So then you are affirming my position that there is an aspect of our salvation that we are experiencing in the present by repenting and redirecting our lives towards being a doer of God's law.

Repenting and believing are Given to everyone Christ died for and saved. His Death gives them Gifts. Now being a doer of God's law is a Gift of imputed righteousness, all the obedience to the law required for righteousness, Christ fulfilled for them He lived and died for. So everyone Christ lived and died for in Him have already kept and obeyed the Law through Him.

Nowhere does the Bible say that Jesus removed his gift of salvation by fulfilling the law for us.

He only fulfilled it the law for believers. The Righteousness they were imputed with, gives them full credit for having kept and obeyed the law as perfect as Jesus did. It's called also the gift of Righteousness Romans 5 17

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Why dont you say the truth as you believe it.

He only fulfilled the law for the chosen of God.
