NCC 34 – Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through Christ alone, must we still do good works and obey God’s Word?

by Ed Willoughby on August 18, 2019August 11, 2022

Yes, because Christ, having redeemed us by his blood, also renews us by his Spirit; so that our lives may show love and gratitude to God; so that we may be assured of our faith by the fruits; and so that by our godly behavior others may be won to Christ.

NCC 33 – Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else?

by Ed Willoughby on August 11, 2019August 11, 2022

No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior.
