Dear Friends,

What should you do with your works? It’s easy to answer that question when you think of your sins. But what about your good works? Today’s devotional gives the best answer I’ve ever seen to this question. God bless you.

Because of Calvary,

John Janney

• Ephesians 2:8-9

  Ephesians 2:8-9   English Standard Version (ESV)
  8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

“I have no doubt that all of us who know anything of true religion are of the same opinion as that celebrated Scotch divine, old David Dickson, who was asked, when dying, what was the principal subject on which his thoughts were engaged, and he answered, ‘I am gathering up all my good works, and all my bad works, tying them into one bundle, and throwing them all alike down at the foot of the cross, and am resting alone upon the finished work of Jesus.’”
[Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit XLII, (London: Passmore and Alabaster, 1896), p. 277]
