Charlie reads through his book Simply By Grace with a special guest interview and discussion time at the end of the podcast.
In this podcast Charlie reads through Chapter 8 - Grace and Good Works. In it he focuses on the difference between grace and works. What are they and how do good works fit into the salvation picture? Ephesians 2:10 speaks of our purpose in salvation. It says that we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works... good works come after salvation and are intended to be an outpouring of what Christ has done for us. So, while good works are not a condition for salvation, they are a consequence of salvation. However, they aren't to be used as proof of salvation as good works can vary extensively.
Charlie goes on to have a discussion with Dr. Fred Lybrand who has pastored a number of churches and written a number of books on this topic specifically and the book of James. Some questions in the discussion that are raised are what is a good work? What is a bad work? What are live works and dead works? How does a person's motivation play into works? Can it prove a person's salvation? Are good works important to an unbeliever and also a believer? Does every Christian do good works? They also touch on common cliche's like "It's faith alone but the faith that saves is never alone." ...what does that mean and who said it?
Fred has a ministry called Back to Faith which you can visit here.
