All in Works
As I thought about the point of my morning devotional reading by E.M. Bounds, I looked back on my own life as a Christian and could easily see the point he was making regarding action. His point was that working, and moving about, doesn’t insure that a person is advancing and becoming more devoted to their faith in God and Jesus.
We are not meant to take pride in our faith, or works, but are to remain humbled by them, knowing full well that it is only by God’s love, and grace, that we have come know Jesus, and as a result of His sacrifice can stand in the Father’s presence. No man, by his own doing, can earn an audience with God in Heaven lest He has been called in faith, and shown works, through Jesus Christ.
