Some will say we need to add “good works” to Christ’s work to be saved. Others will say since we are saved by God’s grace and because all of our sins are already forgiven in Christ we can live as we wish. So, the first says following God’s law is necessary to be saved. The other says following God’s law is unnecessary once saved. Both are terribly wrong! We are saved by grace alone, but the grace that saves is never alone. God’s grace will always give us the desire and ability to follow God. The greatest evidence that we are recipients of God’s grace will be seen through our obedience – not to get saved or stay saved, but proof that we truly are already saved.

DOCTOR, DOCTOR
by J. Randal Matheny

Doctor, doctor, do me right!
Fix my wrongs, and lose my weight;
In your fancy smock of white,
Save me from the jaws of fate.

All these years of hog and sloth
Have lately taken a heavy toll;
This sluggish body's girthly growth
Has put into my gait a roll.

So, doctor, do your check and test,
Prescribe some pills, perform your magic,
Make me well, don't spare your best,
And keep my case from being tragic.
