Name: Baklava (Lebanese)
Ingredients: 2 c Med. chopped walnuts or; Pistachio Nuts; 1/3 c Sugar; 1 tb Rose water; 1 lb Filo dough; 1 lb Drawn butter or sweet; Butter; 1 Basic syrup recipe--BASIC; SYRUP:--2 c. sugar; 1 c Water; Few drops of lemon juice; 1 ts Rose water

Why is salvation all of God’s grace and not based in any part on our own works? 1. Because you and I have sin that God will never accept in His holy presence. 2. Because the standard of righteousness required is God Himself. 3. Because, Ephesians 2:9, God does not want us to boast, but rather saves us, “So that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus” (Ephesians 2:7). 4. Because a love relationship is never based on the works one gives another. 5. Because we will forever wonder if we did enough good deeds. 6. And because if we could save ourselves based on our works, there would have been no reason to send Jesus Christ.
