Why should good works surprise you? We believe they are the result of our justification. We do good works out of gratitude.
Our good works are a natural outpouring of the Father’s life within us.
It’s almost like a true Christian can’t help themselves because they have the Spirit of God living in them and it just kind of oozes out of them.
We do good works because it is now our nature to do good works.
That Protestants do good works does not surprise me, but exhortations from a Protestant pulpit to do good works make no sense had the pastor himself believed his Faith Alone drivel. If works followed automatically from faith without involvement of the free will, there would be no more need to exhort people to charity than there is a need to exhort people to eat when they are hungry.
