The Oracles - Dead Works

"The Oracles: Dead Works" explores foundational Christian principles, focusing on "repentance from dead works." Drawing on Hebrews, it critiques the failure of believers to grow beyond elementary teachings. The document argues that dead works—efforts to earn salvation through rituals and law—are insufficient for justification or spiritual growth. True salvation, according to document comes solely through faith in Christ's finished work, encompassing regeneration, justification, righteousness, sanctification, and glorification. Good works are valued but should stem from a renewed nature, not as means to salvation. This study encourages readers to rely on Christ's accomplishments rather than personal merit.
