Good Works

As another month starts let’s be exercised as to how we can serve the Lord in the days to come. The epistle to Titus has been called the “epistle of good works.” Not “good works” to save us, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us” (Titus 3:5), but “good works” because we are saved.

Here are the references:

“In all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine shewing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity” (Titus 2:7).

“Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works” (Titus 2:13-14).

“Ready to every good work” (Titus 3:1).

“These things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works” (Titus 3:8).

“And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful” (Titus 3:14).

There are lots of “good works” you can do for Him today!
