3D - DO? DON’T? DONE!!
1. DONE - We are able to be saved because of what Jesus has done, not because of what we do or don’t do.
2. DO - Doing good things doesn’t bring salvation; but as a result of salvation, we want to do good works.
3. DON’T - Salvation isn’t about things we avoid or don’t do; but as a result of salvation, we want to honor God.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
