Are We Being Judged By Our Works?

 

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.
