More Quia Eye...

I found some other interesting things to add to my infamous Quia Eye for the Lutheran guy:

While good works are not meritorious for forgiveness, grace, or justification, they ARE meritorious for other physical and spiritual rewards in this life and in that which is to come. (See Ap. IV:194)

Whoever casts love away will not keep his faith, because he will not keep the Holy Spirit. (See Ap. IV:219)

To disparage the mortification of the flesh would be to disparage the outward administration of Christ's rule among men. (See Ap. IV:193)

The punishments that chasten us are lightened by our prayers and good works. (See Ap. IV:268)

Alms merit many divine blessings, lighten our punishments, and merit a defense for us in the perils of sin and death. (See Ap. IV:278)

Among the justified works merit bodily and spiritual rewards through faith and thus there will be distinctions in glory among the saints. (See Ap. IV:355)

We are justified so that we might be begin to do good works and to obey the law. (See Ap. IV:348)
