“Our works do not generate righteousness. Rather our righteousness in Christ generates works.” -Martin Luther
Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
So true. It’s by God’s grace we’ve been saved. Our Fathers gift of His only Son paid for our sins. Living a life like Christ gives light to our path that God has authored. This path holds our destiny and the good works that He has planned for us.
