Liza Soberano Does Not Believe In Salvation By Good Works

“So a murderer was just released for good conduct. Are we supposed to just forget that he killed Jennifer Laude because he's done some good?” --- Liza Soberano

Joseph Scott Pemberton was convicted back in 2014 in the killing of a homosexual named Mr. Laude. But he was granted pardon in 2020 for his good conduct in prison. President Duterte who granted the pardon received flak from all corners including Filipina celebrity Liza Soberano.

Yes, my friend, our spiritual crimes are heinous crimes and they are punishable with the death penalty and life sentence in the lake of fire. Paying them up with our good works is not just. 

The penalty must be paid. And so, Christ our Substitute and Representative had to die and suffer for our crimes. In the eyes of men, His death took only six hours, but in the eyes of God, He, the Lord Jesus, being eternal, offered an eternal payment and sacrifice for our sins.

In Him, a sinner can pay the eternal penalty of his sins. In Him, a sinner can be saved because God's justice and wrath was satisfied.  

Will you trust in God's payment for your sins at the cross of Calvary? Will you trust in the Savior?
