Salvation and Good Works

This article addresses a potential ambiguity in Rev. R. Kleyn's treatment of the relationship between salvation and good works by clarifying that while good works logically follow salvation in the ordo salutis, they are not separated from salvation but are rather the fruit of God's sovereign grace and regenerating work. Kalsbeek's response helpfully distinguishes between the logical order of salvation (salvation not based on works, works made possible only by grace, and conscious experience of salvation preceding awareness of good works) while maintaining that good works are integral to the salvation God works in believers.
