Just recently my youngest son had an operation,to have a kidney removed,because it had cancer,after the operation ,he could not to do very much,he experienced a lot of pain.We live at a distance from him,so his mother was there to support him,his wife suffers from a serious condition ,they have two young children.Here is a very positive thing,people in his the church brought meals everyday to them.That's Christianity in action, a Christianity without good works is not Christianity,let me stress this, we are not saved by our works,only what Christ did on the cross saves. In Ephesians 2 v8 we read,'For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith and this not from yourselves,it is the gift of God.' Jesus paid the full price for our salvation,our works cannot deal with sin,His death on the cross was a sacrifice for sin, So as regards salvation that's it,but let us consider Eph 2 v10 which reads,'For we are God's handiwork,created in Christ Jesus to do good works,which God prepared in advance for us to do'.It is James who writes,' show me your faith' (James 2 v18),the good works are an evidence,that we are Christians.
'What good works has God prepared
for us to do today?'
