Salvation Is Not the Result of Works, But It Will Bear the Fruit of Works

Today’s Reading: Exodus 33; John 12; Proverbs 9; Ephesians 2

Exodus 33:7–11
* The 3000 deaths were a measure of judgment against the people for their idolatry, but they weren’t the only consequences. Notice how the placement of the tent where Moses meets with the LORD is now way outside the camp instead of in the midst of the people.

John 12:44–50
* To believe in Jesus means to believe in the Father because the words of Christ are the message the Father sent him to share.

Proverbs 9:7–10
* The ability to receive instruction joyfully is a sure sign of wisdom.

Ephesians 2:1–10
* While we have only sin to bring to the table, God’s rich mercy and great love produce the gracious means of our salvation. We deserve wrath, but God gives us grace.
