It is wrong to assume that because we are saved by grace that works donβt matter. Works have always mattered in Godβs economy. In fact, Christ died to redeem us from βlawless deedsβ and create in us a zeal for βgood works.β

We are not saved ππ¦ good works, but we are saved πππ good works. Ephesians 2:8-10 is the passage that best incorporates the place of works in salvation and the Christian life. In those verses, Paul wrote that we are saved by grace through faith, βnot of works, lest anyone should boast.β Rather, we are βcreated in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.β In other words, God has saved us from doing βbad worksβ so that we might be empowered to do βgood worksβ for His glory. In fact, a life of righteous works is partial evidence of new life in Christ. As James wrote, βFaith without works is deadβ (James 2:26).
Look for ways today to demonstrate your new life in Christ through good works that honor Him.
