The Bible teaches that we’re saved by grace alone and not by works but that doesn’t mean we can ignore the biblical command to do what is good. On Truth For Life with Alistair Begg, we explore the harmonious relationship between grace and good works.

Paul’s letter provides a call to Christian citizenship, reminding us what what we once were, what we ought to be, and what we are becoming. The behavior of the Christian does nothing to save, but it is a response of the saving work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
