I would think that Joni would agree---perhaps too much for her to express in a "page-sized" devotion? <br /><br />The Piper's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17509697472567235161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185359764481159335.post-3019455475963366032015-05-01T08:23:55.234-05:002015-05-01T08:23:55.234-05:00Really nice devotional from Joni.

The Christian walk is an outflowing of love, not just rote duty.<br /><br />(Though, I would disagree with Joni on one point. In OT times, salvation still was a matter of faith, and was a gift, and was not earned through the Law. Blessings/cursings came through the Law, but salvation has always been by unmerited faith alone in the gracious redemptive heart of God. Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness (Rom 4:3). The righteous shall live by faith. (Hab 2:4, Gal 3:11))<br /><br />-CarolynAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
