It highlights that true Christianity is rooted in being made right with God, not just in performances, which are the fruit and evidence of this relationship. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ That's New Testament ethics. To put the language of justification on it, go ahead, pursue with all your might spirit-empowered obedience moving toward perfection at the last day because you stand right with God. And if that's not true, there's no Christianity. That's all I have to give to the world. No, there is a way to get right with God that does not depend on my performances. My performances which are necessary are the fruit of being made right with God and the evidence that I have been made right with God. ======================================================================== Video: https://sermonindex2.b-cdn.net/5oNYC06t-ZI.mp4 Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/john-piper/good-works-is-the-fruit-of-justification-in-christ/ ========================================================================
