If man says that grace must be earned and that your works achieve for you eternal reward, and the Bible says, "And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son." (1 John 5:11) If God gives us the gift of eternal life, then why should we ever try to earn it. Even the Bible says, "Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. 5However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness." (Romans 4:3-5) So if you're lucky enough to win the bid for the Joseph Smith Bible, remember: Read it, and if man says the opposite, man is wrong.
