Good works, good deeds are important. Lost or saved, everyone should do the best they can to help others, be kind, and promote peace. But we should not mistake good works for salvation. Anyone can be kind, sweet and loving. Anyone can manifest joy, peace and love, regardless of what they believe in their heart. It has nothing to do with our actions that prove our "citizenship". It all has to do with our source. The Bible says the love of God is shed abroad from our hearts by the Holy Ghost. You see anyone has the natural power to love, be kind, sweet, gentle...but actions were never proof of our salvation. Source is the proof! Do we produce fruit from the ground of Adam, or from the Spirit of God? It all has to do with birth. Are we sons of Adam only, or Sons of God? That is exactly why Jesus said, "Marvel not, you must be born again!"
Good deeds are powerless to save us. I use to think when we all died and went to heaven, there would be a great scale to weigh my good deeds against my bad deeds to see my eternal outcome. Nothing could be farther from Truth! It is not a matter of good or bad deeds, but a matter of "source". Have you become a Son of God? Is He your source? Are you living and eating of the Tree of Life? If you want to live forever you must eat of the fruit that gives Eternal Life, and that is Jesus. Be Blessed,Billy and Jan
