I'd like to restate the above sentence for accuracy.

They show their faith in Christ through confession of sin and repentance." A worthy work I might say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925308476543851194.post-77507658032085501632011-10-24T13:01:52.683-07:002011-10-24T13:01:52.683-07:00This article has helped me tremendously.

The clarification that works do not save but are a necessary RESULT of salvation, helps the reader to understand that works lead to salvation is clearly wrong. There have been times in my Christian walk where I have looked to my works for assurance of salvation and have been anxiety ridden. It is clearer to me that looking to Christ and His works should be the main focus. Thanks!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13190764052750160974noreply@blogger.com
