Good works do matter
  • For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love - Galatians 5:6
  • For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them - Ephesians 2:10
  • For he will render to every man according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life - Romans 2:6-7
  • What does it profit, my brethren, if a man says he has faith but has not works? Can his faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and in lack of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what does it profit? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead - James 2:14-17
  • Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for God is at work in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure - Phillipians 2:12-13
