This is probably the best article I have read on this subject in a long time. I like the fact that you used the word “paradox” to describe this. I can’t tell you how many people I know who argue over this topic. It seems on one hand you have the grace camp, and on the other the works camp. The both of them vehemently fight for their lopsided perspective while creating confusion for those on the outside looking in, and we know God isn’t the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). This is one of the most balanced explanations I have seen in a long time. I pray that God will continue to bless your efforts.
Such a fantastic article. I’m the only Catholic in my family and this issue of, what is sadly misunderstood as ‘works-salvation’ has risen before in conversation. If our actions and works can condemn us by rejecting the same grace that saves us, then our actions and works can help put the grace given to good use, as the Lord intends. It’s a beautiful thing, our faith. God bless.
