Always Read The Footnote


Hebrews 13-James 3

“So speak and so act, as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.” James 2:12

“The entrance into heaven is a result of the work which Christ alone did, yet the enjoyment of heaven and its rewards will be proportionate to what the believer did for Christ in his life of faith on earth.  Salvation is undeserved mercy obtained by man because of Christ’s work, but the rewards are given in proportion to the believer’s mercifulness on earth.”

At times the footnote is clearer than the Word and all the more indicting.  

Christ The Judge
by Fra Angelico
