Daily: May 26-30 This Caboose Called Obedience (CD #J42)

"You are saved to do good works," says the Bible. Obedience is often called the fruit of faith, the result of salvation instead of its cause. "God will make us good because He loves us," writes C. S. Lewis. But how easy it is to turn that around: "God will love us IF we are good!"
