No charity equals no salvation.


Let me give you a quick bit of information, many remark that they will be putting on their robe upon arriving in heaven, well if you are not wearing a robe now there will be no robe for you in heaven, your robe is the righteous acts you have performed in the earth.

 Rev 19:8 It was given to her to clothe herself in fine linen, bright and clean; for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.

If you are at all confused about what determines an act of righteousness, here is one scriptural definition:

  2 Cor 9:9 as it is written, "HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ENDURES FOREVER.

I really hope you respond accordingly to the scripture otherwise you are history baby. Repentance that leads to salvation does not just include the command to stop sinning but it also includes producing acts of charity (righteousness). No charity equals no salvation.

Matt 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
  Matt 25:42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
  Matt 25:43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.'
  Matt 25:44 "Then they themselves also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?'
  Matt 25:45 "Then He will answer them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.'
