Good Works (108)
  1. Our goal is to proclaim the genuine good news—that’s what “Gospel” means—of Christ’s forgiveness for you. We do not offer you better tips, techniques or checklists. Instead, You Are Forgiven is sermons by faithful pastors who will clearly show how you cannot be forgiven by your own efforts, no matter how well you do on your homework, your checklist of tasks. But they will also show how you are actually and already forgiven because Jesus has done all that is needed, for you!
  2. The moral high ground isn’t anything to find comfort in. God gives us something better—Jesus.
  3. His forgiveness gives us the courage to watch out for our neighbor in both the present and the future, and to act with wisdom while understanding failures are still ahead.
  4. The devil tempts us to hope in things that we can do.
  5. Jesus is the "because" and "therefore" of our salvation because He died for our sin
  6. Proper preaching of good works is never for our encouragement.
  7. The goal of Christian living isn't to gather in and store up two, three, four barn-fulls of good works for ourselves.
  8. The truth is, a Christian's holiness is hidden outside himself in Christ through faith.
  9. Are our resolutions righteous? Is our commitment to self-improvement a selfless act motivated by love for the neighbor?
  10. Old Adam's works are good because he says they're good. End of conversation.
  11. One of the interesting things about Paul’s writings that is not noticed enough is that Paul doesn’t really have an “application” section.
  12. Being a Christian is hard because it’s easy.
