“Grace is God’s declaration to the Believer that she
can never disappoint Him… on the flip side, grace means I can do absolutely nothing
to please God more than just being who I am in Christ. Yes, our works are good—they help others and honor
God. It is for the sake of such works that
we remain in these bodies. But our works
are simply a means of living out the standing God has granted us, by grace
through Christ’s sacrifice. The works
flow from grace, they don’t produce it. ”
Good works don’t earn you anything, they are “an act of worship from a heart overwhelmed
by what Christ has done. “
