That they may see your good works
and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
We who are
Evangelicals have are have very tenuous relationship with good works.
We learn that nothing is so deceiving than believing in our own good
works, for all our righteousness comes from the Lord Jesus. Very
early in my childhood I learned that all my good works were as filthy
rags, for I was brought forth in iniquity and in sin did my mother
conceive me.
At age 59, I know
I'm not much. But I also know that every day I can and I do make
choices that are God honoring. I don't just let go and let God. But
by God's help, by the amazing understanding that God loves me and
desires for me to be good, I can do good—real good; genuinely kind
acts that others are effected by, for good.
Every day I observe
other Believers pressing on in good deeds. I know that this causes me to
glorify our Father in heaven.
