Verse Takeaways

Evidence, Not Earning
Commentators stress that this verse does not teach salvation by works. Instead, your service and love are the outward evidence of an inward, saving faith. Scholars explain that God isn't repaying a debt based on merit. Rather, He is faithfully acknowledging and rewarding the fruit of His own grace working within you. Your good works are the proof, not the price, of your salvation.
