In the land of Uganda there is a ,'Child Health Education and Rehabilitation Unit,'it is for special needs children,it also has a strong emphasis on Christian witness.The name of this work is ,'ACHERU', the following is in brackets (Afaayo,meaning God cares) One of the ways we know God cares is by God's children caring for others.It is not for the selective few to care for others,it is for all of us ,we should all be good Samaritans, good neighbours,and our lives should be full of Good works.(Matthew 5 v16);Let me just remind you that our good works have nothing to do with our salvation,the only work that saves us is Christs finished work on the cross. (Ephesians 2 v 8- 9)Verse 10 tell us that ,'we are God's handiwork',yes every bit of it,we are his new ceation ( 2 Corinthians 5 v 17) v10 goes unto to say that we have been,'created in a Christ Jesus to do good works,which God has prepared in advance for us to do'. How far in your list do good works fit in? our Christianity should have some degree of good works ,It is James that stresses that faith without works is dead,they are evidence that our faith is genuine (James 1v 18)So ask yourself what good works has God prepaered for you to do?
