Author Jeff Distad takes on a big theological concept here- attempting to explain in understandable, layman's terms that our works do not contribute to, or earn, our salvation, or our entrance into Heaven. It sounds simple enough to those who are familiar with Jesus's finished work on the cross and the fact that faith in Jesus alone is the pathway God has laid out for salvation. In practice, it's not always so simple, since the Bible also warns us that "faith without works is dead" (James 2:17) and that "a man is justified by works, and not by faith only" (James 2:24). I'm not going to attempt to delve into that theological concept in this blog post, as it rapidly can become a friendly debate, even among professing believers within the same circles. Instead, I'm going to explain my impression of "To Be Saved" as this is a book review, after all. |

Blog Hopping?I am not much of a blog reader. There's only a couple I check on occasion:
HisPoetry.blogspot.com Love this girl's writing... feels like she's a long distance friend. Well, her sister is my long-distance friend, so that probably helps. Either way, what an inspiration and encouragement- you just need to check out some of the places life has taken Leah and be strengthened and inspired by the love that oozes (yes, oooozes) from her heart for Jesus, His people and His creation! chocolatecoveredkatie.com If you like nummy recipes, or have special dietary needs (or both!) check it out. ALL of her recipes are Vegan, and many can be made gluten-free. I stumbled upon it when searching for dairy/egg free treats to make for my kiddo and have gotten hooked on several recipes. Okay, "hooked on" doesn't portray it well enough. How about "addicted to"? That's more fitting. Will definitely be going back for more! |
