perman on works

Matt Perman writes:

I agree that the final judgment is according to works. We are justified—made right with God and given a title to heaven—by faith alone apart from works. This faith, though, always and necessarily leads to good works, such that at the final judgment works can be necessary as evidence that we have already been accepted by God. So works are necessary as evidence, not basis.

Read on here for an interesting analogy and a thought on the justifying of our works as well as our persons.
