What we believe and teach - Good works - |
|
We
Christians, being people who have repented and believed in the Lord Jesus
Christ, must do works worthy of repentance. These
works are called good works and God prepared them beforehand that we should
walk in them. Christ gave Himself for us that He might purify for Himself His
own special people, zealous for good works. Faith without works is dead, just
as the body without the spirit is dead. Good works must follow faith, through
them we openly confirm our profession of faith, we honour
the Gospel and cause people to glorify God for our obedience to the Gospel.
God rewards us for every good work we do, because God is righteous. |
|
We are
called to do good to all, especially to those who
are of the household of faith. We must remember the poor among the saints and
visit orphans and widows in their trouble. Anyone who knows the good he ought
to do and doesn’t do it, sins. |
