What is the role of works in a Christian's life after salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Works are a response to salvation, demonstrating the love and transformation of a believer.
In the context of Reformed theology, while salvation is solely by grace through faith, the believer's works serve as evidence of their faith and transformation. As mentioned in Hebrews 6:10, the Lord is not unjust to forget the believer's work and labor of love, implying that true faith produces good works. These works are not a means to secure salvation but rather a natural outflow of it. The believer works out their faith out of gratitude and love, reflecting Christ’s righteousness in their lives. Therefore, the labor of love towards others is crucial in administering the Gospel and encouraging the faith of fellow believers.
