Salvation is the start of your race. If you are not saved, you haven't left the blocks. Everything thing you do is as filthy rags.

[Isa 64:6 NKJV] 6 But we are all like an unclean [thing], And all OUR RIGHTEOUSNESSES [are] like filthy rags; We all fade as a leaf, And our iniquities, like the wind, Have taken us away.

Nothing you do righteous or unrighteous has anything to do with salvation. You're faith in Christ is solely your salvation.

With faith, you can finally start doing 1 good work. Run your race. But rest in Christ.

[Heb 4:3 KJV] 3 For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the WORKS WERE FINISHED FROM THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD.
