Good Works!

 “WHERE DO GOOD WORKS COME FROM?

WHAT IS THE USE OF GOOD WORKS?

the religion which we profess in this place and which we preach IS CALCULATED TO PRODUCE GOOD WORKS IN THE CHILD OF GOD”. (Charles Spurgeon)

Ephesians 2: 8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9not by works, so that no one can boast.

We know from the scriptures that good works cannot save you but only the blood of Christ. Once you have been sprinkled with His blood for your salvation the Holy Spirit begins to change us from the inside out. It’s that outward change that people can see we are His.

Part of your testimony as a Christian is when someone who knew you as a sinner that says, you have changed! It’s that change that can open a door when they ask, what happened?

And it’s that change at the prodding of the Holy Spirit that produces good works. We do good works because He asks us to and it brings us closer to God.

“the religion (faith in Christ) which we profess in this place and which we preach IS CALCULATED TO PRODUCE GOOD WORKS IN THE CHILD OF GOD”.

Ephesians 2: 10For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life.

Is the Lord trying to use you as an instrument of good works?
