Depth Charge #4: Dead Works vs. Good Works

Hebrews 6 lists "repentance from dead works" as one of the foundational doctrines of the Christian faith. But what are dead works?

Many assume dead works are simply sinful acts. Scripture reveals something deeper. Dead works can be religious works, moral works, and even seemingly good works when they are done from the wrong source—works performed to earn God's favor, prove our worth, or boast in our own righteousness.

In this Depth Charge, we examine the difference between dead works and good works through Hebrews 6, Ephesians 2:8-10, and 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

We are not saved by works.

We are saved unto good works.

Good works are not the root of salvation; they are the fruit of salvation. The Christian life is not about striving to gain acceptance with God, but walking in the works He has already prepared for those who are in Christ.

Dead works come from self.

Good works are Christ in us.

Join us as we dive deeper into this foundational truth of the faith.
