Works….

 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

 I had to share it…especially when I came to the above passages this morning…

We list-makers are so prone to wanting a list of things we need to follow…rules to do something right or whatever…from this  question that the people asked Jesus, we humans really haven’t changed much over the ages…a check off list….do this, check…do that, check, until we complete a task…

God wants our hearts, our faith…not report card of our accomplishments…not our performances of good deeds or sacrifices…not our to-do lists…nor our manmade rules and regulations….

Thank YOU….

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Eph.2.8-10

 And the Lord said:“Because this people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips,while their hearts are far from me,and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,

Isa.29.13

In Christ Alone…
