Recently in another Forum Thread we had a very short study on the Seven Churches of
Revelation. In that study we found common themes for each church in terms of what
"Christ Knows" and the "Praise" for each church. I list them below as one affirmation:

Yep, Gods work is always in the gospel. Because our works are as bloody rags. we could never do enough work to earn salvation.
