Actually, there is much harm done if people believe your words, because you
are wrong....
If anyone trusts in their works to save them (whether they believe they receive salvation by works initially or whether they think that they are maintaining their salvation by their works), they are trusting in the wrong thing and will not be saved by it.
Jhn 14:6, Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Jhn 10:9, I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
Rom 5:1, Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
Rom 5:2, By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
If you are attempting to obtain (or maintain) your salvation by works, then you are under the Mosaic law and must keep every line and precept in order to be saved (Galatians 3:10, James 2:10, Matthew 5:48).
I've answered the above many times.
Perhaps the following could be of help:
Philippians 1
Being confident of this very thing, that
He which hath begun a good work in you will perform
it until the day of Jesus Christ
Just as He did with the thief on the cross.
Philippians 3
12Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
13Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have laid hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,
14I press on toward the goal to win the prize of God’s heavenly calling in Christ Jesus.
15All of us who are mature should embrace this point of view. And if you think differently about some issue, God will reveal this to you as well.
16Nevertheless, we must live up to what we have already attained.
What knowledge one has about the Lord and His ways we are to walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Through God's words we gain an understanding that God is the one who gives the gift of knowledge- that is an understanding or awareness of something. The Lord however, grants knowledge to those who have an honest relationship with him.
1 John 5:3
For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.
John 14
15“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.
Revelation 14
12
Here is a call for the endurance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
and ... He will help us in our walk to keep them because He loves us.
The commandments are about love. Nothing legalistic about loving the Lord.
God is love.
