QUIET TIME TAKEAWAY:
Don’t do good deeds just to prove you are good … do them to prove you know God is good.
MY NOTES:
“This is confusing: … We think if we do right, we will be all right in eternity. But it’s what Christ did, not what we do, that makes us righteous.”
Pete Brisco
Yet James 2:22 says, “Abraham’s faith was made complete by what he did.”
And James 2:26, “Faith without deeds is dead.”
“We know we are not saved by our actions, and believing in God is good, but it’s the actual living for God that is essential.
Paraphrase- Greg Laurie
“The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
Gal. 5:6
Faith requires action to prove it is real.
MY TAKEAWAY:
You don’t do good deeds to prove you are good, you do them too to prove that we know God is good. Big difference.
