moral necessity
Puritan Board Junior
I could use some help here. How far from a reformed gospel is this?
A friend of mine had me listen to this, and asked what I thought, mainly about the part from minute 43.38 through around minute 50.00.
He starts by saying, "How can we be saved by grace through faith, and not by works, and yet face final judgment that is according to works or deeds alone, with no favoritism to people that say they loved the gospel?" He goes on to say that, basically, we will be justified according to our deeds on judgment day. He says that the Gospel makes a way for us to be justified by truly providing us the power by which we can measure up to the Law, and that we will all be measured according to it's standard on that day. Imputation is not mentioned as our righteousness before God in that judgment. Is this really a reformed teaching, or is it Rome simply repackaged? Do you know of any reformers who wrote on this subject, or had to deal with this teaching?
It starts on page 9 here, in the 3rd paragraph, if you prefer to read it instead of listen to it.

It's the 5th sermon on the list here, the one from Romans 2:1-16, and is called, "The Power of the Gospel on our Deeds", from 2/22/09, if you prefer to hear it.
