Quotes
“Good works as worship are acts of thankfulness and joy. Good works as merit are acts of leverage and bribery. They do not magnify the God of free grace but make Him appear like a loan officer. And God is not accepting applications for service; he is redeeming captives, who then gratefully serve Him of their own free(d) will.”
Jared Wilson, Gospel Wakefulness
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as we were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.”
Colossians 2:6,7
