Titus 3:14 (New King James Version)14 And let our people also learn to maintain good works, to meet urgent needs, that they may not be unfruitful.
Good works are not our foundation of salvation but the fruit of it. We are saved for good works not by good works. Christ does not give us the mere ability to do good works, but the passion to do them. We should hunger to serve Him through doing good works for others. Christ did not die to have half hearted Christians dreading to do His work. He died to produce in us a passion for good works. Gods is shown to be glorious by the good deeds of Christians. We should ask ourselves daily if we are bringing glory to God or are we just claiming the Christian title. When Gods forgiveness and acceptance have freed us from pride and greed, we are filled with joy and love. We want to share the love that Christ has shown us. It does not have to be a disaster for us to help others, we should be helping others daily. We may see something we do for others as small or meaningless, but God will us it for His glory. Remember, when we help others in their times of need, they get help, we get joy, and God gets all the glory!
God Bless,
