Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 5. Good works #6
Manage episode 406775428 series 1211964
The Law is fulfilled when a person does good works in faith. For the Christian, repentance and good works are never separated from faith in forgiveness won for them in Christ’s cross. Reason may tell people what good works are in society, but those works are not for the sake of salvation. Apart from Christ, nothing good comes from us (John 15:5), but with Him by His word and sacraments, we are comforted in the good works done because we believe Christ has already accomplished our salvation to soothe the terrified conscience.
Rev. Dr. Richard Carter, Professor Emeritus of Theology at Concordia University in St. Paul, MN, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to continue our study on good works.
