Key Biblical Concepts: Good Works

The 4 Key Biblical Concepts and Law & Gospel in Witnessing

Good Works

Not only is the sacrifice Christ made for us a gift from God, but our faith is also a gift from God! Our salvation and eternal life, then, are entirely God’s doing. This raises the logical question, “What about our good works? How do they fit in?” That is the focus of our final key biblical concept—Good Works. What do we need to know about the Mormon view of good works? And how can we talk about good works in our witnessing conversations?

Guest panelist Tracy Tennant briefly shares her story into and out of Mormonism. Listen to the full story in our October 2021 Equip Conversation. You can also read Tracy’s story of her journey from Mormonism to faith in Jesus alone in her book: Mormonism, the Matrix, and Me: My Journey from Kolob to Calvary.

This webinar is part of our 5-week series, The 4 Key Biblical Concepts and Law & Gospel in Witnessing, held October 18–November 15, 2022.
