Bible Note: "If we make the mistake of thinking that our works of love (the fruit of God's Spirit) secure or increase God's commitment to be completely for us, now and in the last judgment, we compromise the very reason that these works of love exist, namely, to display the infinite worth of Christ and His work as our all-sufficient obedience and all-sufficient sacrifice. "Our mind-set toward our own good works must always be: these works depend on God being totally for us. That's what the blood and righteousness of Christ have secured and guaranteed forever. Therefore, we must resist every tendency to think of our works as establishing or securing the fact that God is for us forever. It is always the other way around. Because He is for us, He sustains our faith. And through that faith-sustaining work, the Holy Spirit bears the fruit of love." --John Piper |
