OUR WORKS

Proverbs 16:1

All the works of the humble are evident before the Lord,
But the ungodly will be destroyed in the evil day.

Personal Challenge

Why should we, as Christians, do good works? Is it to earn God's favor? No, He loved us before we were born. Is it to buy our way into heaven? No, that door was opened for us through Christ, and Christ alone. Is it so that everything will go better for us in our lives? No, because God's economy is different than ours. Then, why? We do good works because we are so thankful for God's love for us and the mercy that He has poured out on us that we want to give back to Him and share His love for all of His creation with everyone we can. We do good works to say thank you. Glory be to God!
