Excerpt from Entrance Into the Kingdom, Vol. 1: Or Reward According to Works

Faith, connecting the sinner with the perfect work of Christ, brings present acceptance before God, and eternal life as its blessed issue. The works of man, whether con verted or unconverted, avail not to obtain the pardon of sins, or everlasting bliss. God is a Sovereign, as is shown in his electing whom he will, sustaining their faith through a world of dangers, and glorifying them at last.

These truths were established at the Reformation, on the sure foundation Of Scripture. Good works, it was seen, are the proofs of a living faith, and they are the true fruits of it. But this leaves untouched the further inquiry what are the effects OF good OR evil works ON the future position OF one already justified The ensuing pages Open the enquiry to some extent and they do so, in the only safe manner, by a consideration Of some portions of Holy Writ which speak of these things.
