In a recent conversation, a friend who doesn’t want to be named dropped a gem on me.

“Good works aren’t the roots of our salvation,” was the beginning.

It ended with, “Good works are the fruits of our salvation.”

Too good not to share with you!

As I’ve said for years in a way that’s not at all catchy, we don’t do good works so THAT we’re saved…we do them because we ARE saved.

My friend said it better: “Good works aren’t the roots of our salvation; good works are the fruits of our salvation.”
