I love the Desiring God blog.

It never ceases to put out good teaching in a succinct manner. Today's topic? Salvation and works.



Why Must We Work Out Our Salvation?

I love their commentary on the church:


Why God ordered it this way is seen in some of Jesus’ parables. He says that when the gospel net is cast into the sea of the world, it “gather[s] fish of every kind,” some righteous and some evil. The visible church is always a mixed catch, or always has weeds among the wheat, or always has goats among the sheep.  What distinguishes the elect from others is that their God-given faith is demonstrated by their God-dependent works. Faith works through love.

The church isn't full of perfect people. I am evidence of that. However when they work together, good works declaring our salvation are done.

My church community is becoming a family. I hope you all experience that in your own churches.
