Saved By Their Works?
If we are here after the Rapture,how do we fight and prove ourselves worthy,especially when the anti-Christ will fool most into believing he is Christ? We will be hunted too,I am sure……I ask this because I feel many left behind will still have a chance of being saved by their works.

A. No one ever has, and no one ever will, gain eternal life through their works. Salvation always has been and always will be by faith alone. It’s the only thing that can make us worthy.
Many will be saved after the rapture, perhaps more than in all of history. They’ll be persuaded by the overwhelming evidence of God’s existence, as seen in the dramatic fulfillment of prophecy and in the supernatural judgments He brings upon Earth.
Revelation 7:9-17 describes a group that no man could number, arriving in Heaven after the Rapture having being martyred for their faith. An elder describes them to John as having come out of the Great Tribulation. Here’s a link that will give you more detail about them.

By the tone of your email, I wonder whether you have doubts about being included in the Rapture. If you truly believe that Jesus died for all your sins, and have asked Him to be your Savior and to forgive you, then you’re going with the rest of us. No good works need be added to that, and none can substitute for it. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works so that no one can boast. (Ephes. 2:8-9)
