The Disciple's Faith and Good Works

Genuinely Following JesusSteve Gregg
In this lecture, Steve Gregg discusses the essential aspects of a disciple's faith and good works. He emphasizes that faith always informs behavior and that obedience to God is an essential condition of salvation. Gregg also distinguishes between legalism and obedience, pointing out that good works are a fruit of a disciple's faith and not the condition of salvation. He argues that Christians should focus on obeying God rather than following traditional rules and neglecting more important matters.
