Wouldn't it be pretty to think so.

But in fact you are called to get down and dirty, physically saving your fellow man from want. That's what Jesus demands. If someone asks for your cloak, give him your coat. If he asks you to walk one mile, walk with him two. If he strikes you, turn the other cheek.

Blessed is he who thirsts for justice. Whatever you do for the least of these you do for me.

Why do you rest? Were you not made for labor?

[f.Christian]

"Though grace is dynamic-even formidable-there is something that can stop it being what it is, namely, works. Works is a shorthand term for human effort and ingenuity, aimed at achieving a safe and secure relationship with God. Such effort is contrary to grace. It also is effective, but in an opposite way, to grace. When placed alongside grace as a supplement, it changes grace's nature so that grace stops being grace."


There are results (( ' works ')) - fruits of grace ... but they aren't anything like grace that can earn your salvation --- only grace can do that !

Our righteousness (( hypocrisy )) // works (( OUR )) are sin and they crucified Jesus too !

Only grace - forgiveness - salvation through Him - Savior !
