I might as well just say it since I have already been in some sort of dog house so far. But, if it is first essential to believe the objective principles of doctrine first and foremost before one can actually begin to consider 'good' works then why do we then tell someone that they must focus upon the cart before the horse? It seems almost as if existentially we are focusing on our own self-improvement then on the Gospel which saves the elect by faith.
I mean that from our faith growing more and more into the knowledge of the Gospel does our 'good works' flourish. It is not through the law we become good workers.
many will formally agree that gospel is first, but then they spend 98% of time on the Christian life, using it as a means of assurance. This shows where their heart is. And the gospel they start with is a false gospel.
