Titus 3:1,8 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work.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.
So firstly, we have seen that your Good Works is not for God but for your own ETERNAL BENEFITS (which we will be exploring much deeper later) The 2nd reason is that, YOUR GOOD WORKS IS FOR OTHERS.
So Jesus said,
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. -Matthew 5:14-16
Since we are now justified, we have already been accepted by God. The Bible says WE ARE ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED. So our good works are not for the purpose of God’s acceptance, but so that men might see his likeness in us. “These things are good and profitable unto men”(Titus 3:8).
In the sight of God, you are righteous; you are justified; you are holy and unblameable. Now, this is in your spirit and needs to be transferred to your soul and body so that men around you can see that also. You can’t say you have the righteousness of God in you and live anyhow. People need to see Jesus in us, just like God does, then we actually become an extension of the beauty of Christ UNTO MEN! Praise God! Can you see how blessed you are?
GRACEFUL MORNING
