Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may experience true life.
Timothy, guard what God has entrusted to you. Avoid godless, foolish discussions with those who oppose you with their so-called knowledge. Some people have wandered from the faith by following such foolishness.
May God’s grace be with you all. 1 Timothy 6v18-21
We are not saved by our good works, no we are saved by the Precious blood of Jesus Christ.
However, as we become born again, the Holy Spirit comes and lives in us and teaches us every single day how we should be, towards ourselves and towards others. We never stay the same, the things we used to do, the desire for them goes and the desire to do good overwhelms our heart. We find ourselves doing good to others. Where we were selfish, we now find ourselves sharing and caring for others. This is the good works. This is not what attracts the attention of God, this is a revelation to ourselves of the goodness of God at work in our lives.
You do not need anyone to tell you to do good works, the entrance of the word in your life brings light. This light illuminates the changes that need to be made. You commit this to the Lord and slowly the Holy Spirit begins his work in you. There is noticeable changes that start to take place in your life. You notice people around you who are in need of help. Maybe you were a person who never reached out to others before, but you find yourself wanting to help. That is the work of the Holy Spirit through the word and your faith, working miracles for yourself and others. We all see the changes in you, thank you for yielding, because of you many lives are changed.
CONFESSION/PRAYER
The Holy Spirit is working in me to change me and renew me, day by day.
I am a product of the changing power of God. I find myself doing good works again and again. God is using me to change the lives of others. I have not been saved by my good works, but rather good works have come out of me through the power of the Holy Spirit.
