Did I says deed is not important?
I did say, Salvation is not based on our Deeds, its based on Faith
in Christ Alone.
all these verses you quoted, have no mention on Salvation, but
Rewards instead
on how important is our deeds being used/measured?
1 Corinthians 3 : 10 - 15
10By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert
builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be
careful how he builds. 11For no one can lay any foundation other
than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12If any man
builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood,
hay or straw, 13his work will be shown for what it is, because the
Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the
fire will test the quality of each man's work. 14If what he has
built survives, he will receive his reward. 15If it is burned up,
he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one
escaping through the flames.
whatever deeds we do (must be upon the foundation of Christ),
will be tested, if its acceptable, it will survive the test and the
doer will be rewarded, if its not acceptable, what will this person
lose? not his salvation, for he will still be saved, what is lost
are just the rewards.
Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace
would no longer be grace.
Salvation is by grace through Christ Jesus, if works is
required, its no longer grace, its called payment/reward.
Ephesians 2 : 8-10
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faithand this not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God 9not by works, so that no
one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ
Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to
do.
We are saved by grace through faith in Christ, we do good works
because we are saved, not to be save.
