Episode notes
Good Works Don't Earn Salvation
- Good works do not earn God's grace or love and are not about merit for salvation.
- Salvation is by faith alone, and attempts to mix works nullify the purpose of Christ's sacrifice.
God's Love Independent of Works
- God loved us even when we were sinners and enemies, not based on our works.
- Our works do not cause God's love, nor do they keep God loving us.
Works Validate Genuine Faith
- Works validate true faith but do not replace or earn it.
- Faith without works is dead, showing that genuine faith produces good works.
