We do not deserve God's grace, but by accepting the atoning death, resurection, and accention into heaven of our redeeming Savior and Lord Jesus Christ, we are given the free gift of eternal life. Praise be to God and our Lord Jesus Christ!<br /><br />I bought the complete works of Jonathan Edwards on eBay and plan on great man of God.

But I do see his point and believe it is the scriptural principle in true form. We are saved by faith only. Works follow faith as a natural manifestation of a changed life. Those works do not save us. Edwards is making a notable distinction between faith and works. As humans, we judge a person's faith by his works. God doesn't do that, He knows our hearts and that's where He judges. Thanks for sharing these deep writings. Good spiritual meat.INSIDE THE SHRINKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05847815538742805926noreply@blogger.com
