STEPPING UP YOU
ETERNAL WORK RATE SO THAT YOUR ETERNAL WORK DONE WON’T BE EQUAL ZERO
“This
is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that
they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These
things are good and profitable unto men”
(Titus 3:8)
“For
we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:20).
“That
the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Tim. 3:17).
“In
all things shewing thyself a pattern of good works” (Tit. 2:7).
“That
ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every
good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God” (Col. 1:10).
GOOD WORKS! GOOD WORKS!! GOD
WORKS!!!
Good
works without salvation cannot give a man a place in Heaven. And I perceive
(and also going by the revelations of people from the other side) that faith
alone cannot give a man Heaven, “for
faith without works is dead” (James 2:18, 26, 26). Heaven is for the saved
who gave their lives to God and to Good Works.
God
takes a record of every good work we do here. The life that pleases God is a
saved life given onto good works. “That
they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to
communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the
time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life” (1 Tim. 6:18, 19).
Eternal
life is work-based. Like a hymn writer wrote, we cannot afford to meet God
empty-handed. One thing that has a voice that speaks beyond this earth is
called “Good Works”. Another hymn writer wrote, “Only remembered by what we have done”.
Thank
God we are saved; let us step out to work – work for God, help the weak, give
to the poor, bless the needy. Some may miss eternal reward because they missed
the place of work.
“And, behold, I come quickly; and
my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be” (Rev.
22:12).
Are
you working? Do you need to start working? Or perhaps step up your work rate?
Friend, this is the time to do the good works, for time will soon be up when we
won’t be able to work anymore. “I must
work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no
man can work” (John 9:4).
Pray
with me: “Lord, help me increase my eternal work rate, so that in the end, my eternal
work done will not be equal to zero”. Amen.
