Salvation Quote by Tony cooke
““It's true that we are not saved BY works, but it's also true that we are saved UNTO works (see Ephesians 2:8). In other words, works are not the CAUSE of our salvation, but they are to be a RESULT of our salvation. Works are not the ROOT of our salvation, but they are to be the FRUIT of our salvation.””
