If that's what you think that being save by grace through faith means, then you have a LONG way to go.So we sit back and do nothing?

Did you believe the Gospel according to 1 Corinthians 15:1-4?
I know I'm way late to the party, here (on this thread), but I think the idea of "giving one's self to God" is a very effective conceptual way of letting go of our own natural selfishness and self-centered fear that we won't get what we need and want, or that we aren't good enough or deserving enough to get what we need and want.
This practice of turning that fear and selfishness over to God is a pathway to "salvation" in the sense that it helps save us from ourselves. Which is something most of us could use some saving from, most of the time.
So do that...
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
I answer all the questions. You answer the questions I ask.
Where does He "tell us what to do to be saved"? What did you obey?
Just who do you think gave Paul the gospel of Christ? Galatians 1:11-12 KJV?Gospel is supposed to be the word of Jesus.
No one here says otherwise.Jesus is the Lord, not anyone else.
The gospel of our salvation was a mystery and Paul tells us why (1 Corinthians 2:6-8 KJV).Jesus taught perfectly what we need to know about His Salvation.
Matthew 10:23 KJVRemember Jesus says "go therefore make disciples of all nations... teachings them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Paul was given the gospel that is the power of God to save you which you continually dismiss (Romans 1:16 KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 KJV).This commission was given before Paul joined which you continually dismiss.
Anymore?That scripture proves what I have been saying. Circumcision is the work that does not save anymore.
Anymore?
You do realize that no women were ever circumcised, right?
Umm, I'll ask again.Anymore?

Women were just as responsible as the men in that category. Women had to make sure their male babies were circumcised. Remember Moses and his wife. Moses wasn't going to circumcise his son, so his wife did it. Proof that it was the woman's responsibility too.
The words IF YOU OBEY tells you that Jesus was preaching the LAW before He went to the Cross. Paul tells you in Romans 5:19, that it's through the OBEDIENCE OF ONE (The Lord Jesus Christ).
The Bible says Moses gave us the law and Jesus came with grace and truth.

Do you want knowledge? I can tell you how to get it, how to get it in a miraculous way.

Excellent post Heir. Meshak understands very little, if anything.

Our selfish way is mostly about ego or pride. Jesus says to give up our worldly way of living. He says "come to Me who are weary because my burden is light. I will give you rest."
Most of us are so busy chasing after worldly success and making ourselves weary, pressuring ourselves to compete with the world.
