Good Works
Good works are acts of obedience to the Lord done by sinners who have been justified by God’s grace based on Christ’s righteousness imputed, who have been born again by the Holy Spirit and brought to faith in Christ and repentance of dead works and idolatry. They are works done towards God in our worship, service, devotion, and self-denial, and towards our brethren in Christ and our neighbors – acts of charity, compassion, and kindness – done in the power of the Holy Spirit from the regenerate heart, guided by the Word of God, aimed towards HIS glory, and motivated by grace, love, and gratitude in the assurance of our complete salvation by God’s sovereign grace in Christ Jesus, our Savior and Lord.
—Pastor Bill Parker
James 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.
