[847.56 --> 848.70] which was mentioned before |
[848.70 --> 849.84] says |
[849.84 --> 851.34] for it is by grace |
[851.34 --> 852.38] you have been saved |
[852.38 --> 853.24] through faith |
[853.24 --> 854.64] and this is not |
[854.64 --> 855.24] from yourselves |
[855.24 --> 856.30] it is a gift of God |
[856.30 --> 857.12] not by works |
[857.12 --> 858.98] so that no one can boast. |
[864.50 --> 865.54] Nothing we could do |
[865.54 --> 866.40] could ever earn |
[866.40 --> 867.40] ourselves salvation. |
[867.82 --> 868.52] It is by God's |
[868.52 --> 869.98] sheer grace alone |
[869.98 --> 871.00] that we are saved. |
[871.90 --> 873.02] No effort of our own |
[873.02 --> 873.76] could have saved us |
[873.76 --> 874.58] and no good deed |
[874.58 --> 875.36] could have earned it. |
[876.00 --> 878.42] It is by God's grace alone. |
[880.16 --> 881.12] The Heidelberg Catechism |
[881.12 --> 882.24] which we are familiar with |
[882.24 --> 882.82] if you grew up |
[882.82 --> 883.48] in this church |
[883.48 --> 885.18] or other CRC churches |
[885.18 --> 886.30] we learned it |
[886.30 --> 886.86] in our youth |
[886.86 --> 888.86] some have even memorized it |
[888.86 --> 889.54] to an extent. |
[890.22 --> 891.46] It serves as a concise |
[891.46 --> 892.42] and thorough teaching |
[892.42 --> 893.04] of the truths |
[893.04 --> 893.86] that we believe |
[893.86 --> 895.16] the Bible teaches. |
[895.98 --> 896.82] This catechism |
[896.82 --> 898.20] encapsulates James' teaching |
[898.20 --> 899.32] in a few of the Lord's Days. |
[900.36 --> 901.92] The Lord's Day 7 says |
[901.92 --> 903.70] true faith |
[903.70 --> 905.36] is not only a knowledge |
[905.36 --> 905.96] and a conviction |
[905.96 --> 907.32] that everything God reveals |
[907.32 --> 908.38] in His Word is true |
[908.38 --> 910.48] is a deep rooted assurance |
[910.48 --> 911.26] created in me |
[911.26 --> 912.14] by the Holy Spirit |
[912.14 --> 912.82] through the Gospel |
[912.82 --> 914.72] that out of sheer grace |
[914.72 --> 915.60] earned for us |
[915.60 --> 916.62] by Christ |
[916.62 --> 918.12] not only others |
[918.12 --> 918.84] but I too |
[918.84 --> 921.26] have had my sins forgiven |
[921.26 --> 922.78] have been made forever |
[922.78 --> 923.58] right with God |
[923.58 --> 925.72] and have been granted salvation. |
[927.60 --> 929.12] The Lord's Day 24 |
[929.12 --> 930.42] goes on to say |
[930.42 --> 931.70] it is impossible |
[931.70 --> 932.78] for those grafted |
[932.78 --> 933.92] into Christ |
[933.92 --> 935.06] by true faith |
[935.06 --> 936.62] not to produce |
[936.62 --> 937.74] fruits of gratitude. |
[940.24 --> 942.24] James has been teaching us |
[942.24 --> 943.14] that good deeds |
[943.14 --> 944.26] follow faith. |
[944.62 --> 945.16] These deeds |
[945.16 --> 946.16] don't save us |
[946.16 --> 947.20] they couldn't. |
[947.96 --> 948.68] When James says |
[948.68 --> 949.20] that deeds |
[949.20 --> 950.92] accompany good faith |
[950.92 --> 951.54] it's because |
[951.54 --> 952.48] we are being made |
[952.48 --> 953.58] like Christ |
[953.58 --> 955.26] we're being sanctified. |
[955.84 --> 956.36] The Holy Spirit |
[956.36 --> 957.34] is working out salvation |
[957.34 --> 957.78] in us |
[957.78 --> 959.60] to be more like Christ |
[959.60 --> 961.00] every single day |
[961.00 --> 961.98] which means that |
[961.98 --> 963.08] because we are being saved |
[963.08 --> 964.04] and being made |
[964.04 --> 964.92] more like Christ |
[964.92 --> 966.60] we then will act |
[966.60 --> 967.46] more like Christ |
[967.46 --> 968.54] for the more |
[968.54 --> 969.38] any good we do |
[969.38 --> 969.94] is because of |
[969.94 --> 970.86] His strength. |
[971.62 --> 972.56] We can never do good |
[972.56 --> 973.26] in God's eyes |
[973.26 --> 973.92] if it wasn't for |
[973.92 --> 974.48] His strength |
[974.48 --> 975.80] His goodness |
[975.80 --> 977.34] His faithfulness |
[977.34 --> 978.52] and His Spirit |
