A Real Root and a Real Fruit - the place of works in the Christian life
The Root of our Salvation Faith in Christ alone Without our works The Fruit of our Salvation Out of Gratitude Giving us Assurance Bearing Witness to the world Question 33 Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else? No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior. Question 34 Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through Christ alone, must we still do good works and obey God’s Word? Yes, because Christ, having redeemed us by his blood, also renews us by his Spirit; so that our lives may show love and gratitude to God; so that we may be assured of our faith by the fruits; and so that by our godly behavior others may be won to Christ.
