Are we being judged according to our works by God?

 

Are we being judged by our works?



       What is the definition of the word works?  Works are activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result.  Works also are a task or tasks to be undertaken; something a person or thing has to do.  For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

       What Does the Bible say about works? Therefore, when we work, we resemble Him. In addition, work is not God's way of punishing us. In fact, He blesses us with the ability to work so that we can honor Him. Colossians 3:22 says, “You who are servants who are owned by someone, obey your owners.

Are we being judged by our works by God?



       Next, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ."  If I am doing something that pleases God, then I am doing works.  Works are physical and mental efforts that applies to our daily lives. 

According to evangelical Baptist theology, good works are the consequence of salvation and not its justification. They are the sign of a sincere and grateful faith. They include actions for the Great Commission, that is, evangelism, service in the Church and charity.

       Further, I want to inform all of you that God is watching us every single day of our lives.  Do you know that every idle word that we say would either justify or condemn us?



 This is according to Matthew 12:36. This is the reason why I try my very best to perform tasks that are pleasing to God.  I know that I am not perfect, but I try my very best to do good things that would benefit mankind.  For instance, I planted a garden for the Merry Oaks Community in Charlotte, NC.  I planted watermelon and cantaloupe inside of my front yard.

God is watching all of us on a daily basis.  Job 34:21 says: His eyes are on the ways of men; He sees their every step.  This is very serious because we cannot get away with our sins.  This is the reason why I am blessed every single day of the week.  I know that I have done a whole lot for other people in my life.  God is recording and monitoring our progress.


 


 God is doing more for all of us more than we are doing for ourselves.  This is the reason why I feel guilty because I know that God is watching me.  God always want all of us to perform good deeds, while we are living inside of the planet.  Are we being under surveillance by God?  The answer is yes!!  God watches us all of the time. 

A GOOD DEED A WEEK:

·         Let your first check of the year be to charity.

·         Help a friend in need.

·         Volunteer for an hour at an organization of your choice.

·         Save electricity by unplugging your devices when not in use.

·         Buy a gift for your mother or grandmother – just because.

·         Allow a fellow driver to merge into your lane.

       Finally, I want to say that each and every single day of the week, God wants all of us to perform for Him.  I want to say that I did not know that even if we help other people, we are doing good deeds for God.  This is the reason why I feel good about myself because I help other people with tasks that are very simple.  I love everything that God has created.  God wants all of us to perform the Great Commission on a daily basis.

Have You Ever Wrestled with God

Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that the Man of God Wrestled with Jacob?        I have a very important question to ask everyone right now.  Have you ever wrestled with Satan in the same way that Jacob wrestled with the Man of God?  I am asking this question because I had a flashback recently.  It happened in 1974 when I got into a fist fight with a 15-year-old boy.  We got into a fist fight over a black fisted pick that people used to comb their hair.  I fought this boy because he threatened my manhood over something that he could have purchased for himself.               Next, I fought with this boy because he threatened me with violence.  I might have been younger, but that poor brother was limping after I got finished with him.  He got away on his bike.  I want to inform all of you that this boy was 6 years older than me.  I want to say that I might not have wre...

Matthew 5:23-24

Matthew 5:23-24!! What does this means to all people?         Good Day Everyone!! This is an essay that pertains to the Beatitudes inside of Matthew 5 th -7 th  Chapters.  I have selected two of the Bible verses just to place emphasis.  First, I want to say that this is not very easy for some people to apologize to another person, especially after you have done something wrong to that person.  For me personally, I want to inform all of you that my baby brother called me a homosexual because I am responsible for paying my other brother and a friend’s phone bill each month.  I understand that my brother called me out of my name without just cause.         Next, I want to inform everyone that my brother was out of line for calling me out of my name.  I have confronted him about the problem, but he refuses to reconcile.  Therefore, I am praying for him each and every single day of the we...

God is Watching All of US

    God is watching all of us!!   I know for myself that God has been watching me because He is solely responsible for waking me up this morning.  He watches me because I know that I am not able to get away with anything that I am doing wrong throughout my entire 60 years of existence. Next, I want to inform everyone that I have been a Born Again Christian for 10 years now.  I will admit that I have had my moments when I have acted out by using words that does not make sense.  Lord God, I am asking You; to please forgive me of all of my sins both past and present.  This also includes any sins that I am thinking about inside of my mind, as well as any besetting sins that I have presently. Good Afternoon Lord Jesus!!  How are you doing today?  Fine, I hope.  I want to inform you that I am only a Work in Progress.  The reason why I am saying this is simply because I am not perfect.  I am asking you to please bridle my tongue; so t...
