"Saved By Works?"

“We are saved by works.” Several years ago, a prominent Christian theologian began a conference talk with this bold statement. As you can imagine, he had his audience’s attention (and slight dismay). He then proceeded to explain, “We are saved by works, but they are not our own.” The Bible is clear that we are not saved by our works (Eph. 2:8). Yet, we often forget or fail to consider that somebody’s works are still absolutely essential to our salvation. The just requirement of the law (perfect obedience) still stands and must be met—either by us or someone else in our place. Join us this Sunday as we consider the “one man” whose obedience has paved the way for our salvation.
