If I'm Saved by Grace, Why Do Good Works?

Summary

The sermon addresses the question of why Christians should do good works if they are saved by grace. It emphasizes that salvation is a gift from God, not earned by works, but true faith produces a new desire to please God and live righteously. The preacher warns against willful sin, explaining that God chastens His children to guide them back to righteousness and that sin has consequences even for believers. Ultimately, good works are a response to God's grace and love, motivated by the Holy Spirit working within believers.
