Most new Christians soon come to the understanding that we are saved by faith – that our own best efforts can never “earn” God’s forgiveness and acceptance, and that it is through faith that we receive the gift of salvation. But is that all there is to the Christian life? Once we are “saved,” are we in a kind of spiritual holding pattern till we are eventually rewarded according to our faith?
Our new article, “How We Are Judged: Building on the Foundation of Faith,” uploaded today, shows that nothing could be further from the truth.
