Description

So goodness, truth and beauty, these are words that you have heard a lot before you and I'm sure you've heard these three paired up. Compare three things, huh? What is it? Was the right word tripled up. I don't know. Whatever it may be, these three things are often grouped together. Right. And when we think about these as Christians, you know, we think, well, are these biblical concepts? They sound great, right?

Yesterday, the thesis of my talk, I mentioned this a few times explicit proclamation is a necessary but insufficient condition for salvation. You becoming a Christian is not a result of works. Right. But once you are a Christian, you better be bearing fruit. You better be showing good works otherwise, you know. Your works are supposed to be an indication of your faith and you have no work shows that your faith is dead right, so which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Right. So this is God's intention for you all along to have works which are an outflow of your Christian life.

So what I want to do is actually add one more thing to the thesis. I want to tweak it and I want to actually affirm both statements. And the next one is, um, the addendum is explicit. Proclamation is necessary but insufficient for missions.
