Trust and Obey

<p>How can it be? How can salvation be God’s gift of grace through faith and not by works; yet there are tons of Bible verses that connect eternal life directly to obedience and faithfulness? It was a great aid to me to see how both are given and they do not conflict at all. I have written several papers to show this and they have been helpful to a number of people. So I am enclosing these into a book form. Each paper shows in various ways how both the faith and obedience verses are valid and precious.</p> <p>“According to Scripture … very good … I agree with everything in it … I don’t think we will ever fully know God’s part and our part but this is the closest I have ever seen … It is the best bridge I have seen … I feel it is a unique and much needed contribution.” (concerning Paradox).</p> <p>—Dr. Robertson McQuilkin president emeritus of Columbia International University</p> <p>“Very thought-provoking! I’ve been aware of this Paradox but having it presented like this highlights the grace-works elements in our faith which must be confronted. It also broadens one’s appreciation for the Word.” (concerning Paradox).</p> <p>—Dave Scovill missionary translator missions counselor administrator and writer</p>
