Christians often struggle with a sorrowful realization of our inadequacy, especially when we encounter the New Testament passages that speak of obedience. And for good reason! This is something we all fail miserably at, despite our best intentions. Jesus himself said:

“Not everyone who says to me Lord, Lord will in enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do the will of my Father in heaven.”

How secure are you in your salvation after reading the above verse? If your answer is anything less than 100% secure, you probably don’t have a proper grasp of God’s grace as revealed in the New Testament — where we find many wonderful passages assuring us that belief and faith in Christ alone has sealed our eternal life …but only so long as we choose to remain in Christ. But if we are capable of choosing to leave the faith, how is it we are sealed?

And what about exaltation in the afterlife? Is hope of reward proper (or acceptable) motivation for wanting to perform good Christian works?

In this work, Paul Kasch scripturally guides the malleable Christian around the circle of grace and obedience in an attempt to find a Biblically-based, peaceful resolution. The believer should come away from this book with a better understanding of the relationship between faith and works, and a glorious confidence in their relationship with Christ.
