What are good works?
By: guest24 Date: January 16, 2020, 9:31 am
---------------------------------------------------------
I was reviewing my notes this morning for what good works are
according to scripture....do you see belief listed as a good
work?
The first thing we notice is that God created good works for us
to do before hand and we should be walking in those good works.
(Ephesians 2:10) So what then are these good works? Let’s
start with Ephesians 1:4 (HCSB) For He chose us in Him, before
the foundation of the world, to be holy and blameless in His
sight. In love. Notice that here, we are chosen before to be
holy and blameless...could this be the works we were created
for? To be holy and blameless. We are told in Matthew 3:10 to
produce good fruits. (Matthew 7:17-19; Matthew 12:33; Matthew
13:8; Matthew 13:23; Mark 4:8; Luke 3:9; Luke 6:43) Likewise all
the works Jesus did were “good works”. (John 10:32; John 10:33)
Romans 7:18 says that there is nothing good in our flesh.
Romans 8:5 (Galatians 5:17) tells us that those who live
according to the flesh do the things of the flesh. Those who
live according to the Spirit do the things of the Spirit. Some
of the works of the flesh that we are to avoid include sexual
immorality, impurity, idolatry, sorcery, jealousy, fits of
anger, strife, divisions, envy, drunkenness, drinking parties,
coveting, slander, pride, foolishness, lusts, lies, greed,
fortune telling, and swindling. (I Corinthians 6:18; Galatians
5:19-21; I Peter 4:3; Mark 7:21-23; Galatians 5:20-21; Romans
1:24-32; I John 3:4; James 4:1-17; Ephesians 5:18; Galatians
5:16-26; I Timothy 1:10; I Corinthians 6:9-11; II Chronicles
33:6; John 8:44; Matthew 5:28) Where this is not a complete
list of fleshly works, the list of good works is not all the
good works either. The good works include; gentleness, self
control, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, serving one another, give without thought of
reward, righteousness, praying, truth, compassion, humility,
denying the flesh, purity, knowledge, and holiness. (Galatians
5:22-23; Galatians 5:6; Galatians 5:13; Matthew 6:1-34; Romans
5:1; Romans 14:17; Romans 15:30; I Corinthians 13; Ephesians
5:9; Colossians 3:12; I Thessalonians 1:6; Romans 13:14; II
Corinthians 6:6; Ephesians 4:24; Ephesians 4:32; Philippians
2:3)
In Matthew 26:10 (Mark 14:6) we see the woman who anointed
Christ’s feet with her tears and dried them with her hair and
anointed them with expensive oils. The KJV calls her actions a
good work. Something that is praiseworthy by virtue of it’s
beauty and purity. We know we are not to grow weary of doing
good. (Galatians 6:9) How can we not grow weary? When we feel
ourselves beginning to grow weary, what can we do? We can wait
on the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) fear God and trust in Him, (Luke
18:18) and renounce the secret and shameful ways of the flesh,
allow no deceit or distorting of God’s word, openly proclaim the
truth. (II Corinthians 4:1-2) We can live in the extraordinary
power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, allowing Him to renew us
from the inside, while focusing our attentions on the things
that are eternal and yet to come rather than on the temporal
things in the moment. (II Corinthians 4:7-18) Likewise, when we
feel ourselves growing weary we can do the things that please
God so that in due time we will reap the eternal rewards that
God promises. (Galatians 6:8-10) We allow Christ to be our
example and remember how much He endured. In this we consider
Christ and fix our eyes on Him. (Hebrews 12:2-4) If we are
righteous, we will hold to our right way, the imitation of
Christ while cleaning our hands in the truth of Christ. (Job
17:9) Finally we learn that the good things that God gives are
satisfying and in that we find strength. (Psalms 103:5; I
Timothy 6:6)

your question:[color=green]"do you see belief listed as a good

NO,,,,for if belief is listed as a good "WORKS" then Faith is
also a good WORKS and the Bible strictly says NO to Works but
rather Salvation by Faith(belief) Only. Work comes after
Justification.
My question to you..Is this what you are teaching/preaching at
your church's congregation?

I have repeatedly told you that I don't teach or preach in my
church so why would you ask me if this is what I teach/preach?

I guess I am slow, but after reading all of this I still have no
clue what you are supposed to use to determine if you have done
"good work"
I do have a question of curiosity. If you do not teach or preach
at your church, what do you do?

Here's one verse of many that contain good works.
1 Corinthians 13:13 KJV - And now abideth faith, hope, charity,
these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

I think that belief or believing is a good action that begins in
our hearts. It's more an internal action than a good work
outwardly. We have a choice whether to believe or not.I think
faith and belief are very closely connected. Faith is a gift
from God and can increase our belief. Faith is also increased by
hearing the word of God. The power of the Holy Spirit can
increase our belief and our faith.
I hope what I've said makes sense. I would like to say more but
just too tired right now.

Ah, okay, I think I am beginning to see the way to read looking
for "Good Works" But if you are in your own journey to faith
and believe are you not also on a journey of good works
