Thursday 18
Works don’t save us.
We are saved by grace.
But saving grace is only given
To those who have faith.
And faith, if it is real,
Will always produce works.
But it is not the works,
Nor the faith,
But the grace of God
By which we are saved.
I did a lot of sleeping, trying to get rid of the cold, which is now full-blown.
We had our last Spanish tutoring session at noon for only a half hour.

I really like this poem. I have one brother who always tries to tell me that I believe that my good works will save me. I know that won't. I explain that my good works indicate the condition of my heart. It is Christ and His grace that saves me I have done all that I can to prepare myself.
