Epilogue
"God's call expresses Divine nature; and motivated by love, our nature responds in service in a way that's compatible with His pleasure. . . . . Spiritual growth is a process of our pilgrimage. Salvation is the reward of faith but not of good works because service is merely responsiveness to God's call. "Only believers find seats at His prepared table.'"
