    EPHESIANS 2:10
    10)For we are his
    workmanship, created in
    CHRIST JESUS unto
    good works, which GOD
    hath before ordained
    that we should walk in
    them
    For we are His workmanship,
    evidence of grace, we have to
    be fashioned anew by GOD
    before we can do anything
    right, His own master work, a
    work created in CHRIST
    JESUS, we are GOD’S
    workmanship created in
    CHRIST JESUS, that means,
    when a man believes in
    JESUS CHRIST, GOD creates
    him in CHRIST, that GOD
    quickens the Spirit of the
    believer and make his Spirit
    alive, whereas the believers
    Spirit was dead to GOD, GOD
    creates it anew and makes it
    alive to GOD ,,reborn from
    above, spiritually
    transformed , renewed, it
    means that GOD causes the
    believer to be born again
    Spiritually, which means GOD
    places His divine nature into
    the heart of the believer,
    making a new creation of the
    believer, creating a new
    person from the believer,
    which means GOD gives the
    believer the Holy Spirit, we
    are created to do good works,
    believers is GOD
    workmanship, GOD work of
    arts,, GOD masterpiece ready
    to be used for good works, in
    order that we may have
    inclination engaged them, and
    to delight in so doing; and
    may give ourselves up to
    this, and to be continually
    engaged in them, and to
    delight in doing so.
    The Believer shows that he is
    GOD’S workmanship by the
    life he lives and display, works
    are evidence of Salvation,
    doing good is not an option
    for believer, it is the very
    nature of the believer, GOD’S
    people give ample evidence of
    the power of a new life which
    operates in them, if a man is
    created in CHRIST , if GOD
    has truly worked in him, the
    person does good works, his
    very nature dictates it , is the
    very nature, he is not perfect
    he fails but keeps coming to
    GOD and failing upon his
    knees, believing and asking
    forgiveness, and getting back
    to do all good he can, he a
    new creature created in good
    works, prepared for us
    beforehand taking paths
    which He set, so that we
    would walk in them, the
    believers are subject of Divine
    grace, a proof of the true
    origin of good works, before
    the foundation of the world it
    was ordained that whosoever
    shall be saved by grace
    should walk in good works,
    which is habitual tenor of the
    life; GOD has appointed the
    believer beforehand ,that he
    should work in good work ,it
    is to spend in the atmosphere
    of good works, living the good
    life which He prearranged and
    made ready for us, GOD has
    appointed good work to be
    done by His people, it is His
    will not only to do them but to
    continue to do them, and that
    we should do them, this
    being pre-ordained of GOD
    MATTHEW 5:16
    16)Let your light so
    shine before men, that
    they may see your good
    works; and glorify your
    FATHER which is in
    heaven
    Let your light so shine before
    men in such a way that they
    may see your good deeds and
    moral excellence, the
    believers light is their
    character, the believer is to
    undergo transformation he is
    to be like CHRIST, more and
    more to reflect the light of
    CHRIST , Light is clear and
    pure, it is clean, that is good,
    right and true , light
    penetrates, it cuts through
    and eliminate darkness , it
    enlightens , it enlarges, it
    guides, it direct the way to
    go, lead along the right path,
    light strip away darkness , it
    guide person’s vision and
    knowledge , the light reveals,,
    it open the truth of the
    Gospel, which he
    communicated , the spiritual
    knowledge of the mysteries of
    grace, which he had favored
    them with, were to be openly
    declared , and made manifest
    before men, as believers are
    placed as light of the world,
    they were to hold forth, in the
    most open and conspicuous
    manner as the light and life.
    The believer has light, the
    light is already within him, he
    is the light of GOD upon
    Earth, CHRIST says, let your
    light so shine, believers can
    refuse to let their light to
    shine, he may turn it off, and
    refuse to turn it on, shade it,
    darkened it,, turn it away,
    direct its beam to other
    direction, if we live for
    CHRIST, we will glow like
    lights, showing others what
    CHRIST is like, we hide our
    light, by being quiet when we
    should speak,, going along
    with the crowd, letting sin dim
    our light, ignoring the need of
    orders, by being a beacon of
    truth, believers should not
    shut their light off from the
    rest of the world
    THAT THEY MAY SEE YOUR
    GOOD WORKS
    That they may see your good
    works: believers are to let
    their light to shine in other to
    show forth good works, let
    your light shine means let
    your good works be seen ,
    they are show their good work
    to the world meaning your life
    generally their generous and
    active character, their zeal
    and fervency; their plainness
    and openness; their
    integrity ,sincerity,
    faithfulness, courage,
    diligence, industry in
    preaching the Gospel; their
    strict regards to truth, the
    honor of CHRIST and the
    good of the soul
    AND GLORIFY YOUR FATHER
    And glorify your FATHER,
    believers are to let their light
    shine in other to stir men to
    glorify GOD, the glory of GOD
    is the primary aim of all
    believers, the very way GOD is
    glorified is by the light good
    work of believers shinning
    before men, when the
    believer’s get out of
    darkness and embrace light,
    they are to glorify the
    FATHER, which is in Heaven;
    that is, that when the
    ministration of the Gospel has
    been received, for the
    illumination of the mind of
    men, to a thorough conviction
    of their state, and for their
    regeneration conversion,
    sanctification, and give praise
    to GOD, for sending such
    Gospel to show them the way
    of Salvation; that the word
    has been made useful to
    communicate spiritual life and
    light, joy and comfort, of our
    FATHER which is in heaven,
    believer are not only the
    glorify GOD they are to cause
    those who are in darkness to
    glorify Him, the aim and
    purpose of our lives should be
    to glorify our GOD, we should
    be GOD centered
    MATTHEW 19:21
    21)JESUS said unto him,
    if thou will be perfect,
    go and sell that thou
    hast, and give to the
    poor, and thou shalt
    have treasure in heaven;
    and come and follow Me
    SELF-DENIAL
    JESUS said unto him, if thou
    will be perfect, means
    completely righteous, having
    no worldly lust in all its part,
    finished, having no part
    wanting, the step to enter
    GOD’S kingdom is to give all
    you are and have to CHRIST,
    CHRIST know exactly what
    the young man needed, his
    rejection of CHRIST showed
    this, he was hoarding wealth
    instead of distributing it, GOD
    had giving him that he might
    have to give to others, but he
    was failing to love and help
    his neighbor anywhere close
    to what he should, what
    JESUS CHRIST said, if you
    want to be perfect, that is,
    really obey the commandment
    and receive heaven, then
    demonstrate to all publicly
    and without question that you
    love your neighbor: go and
    sell your possessions and give
    to the poor, then follow Me, in
    our struggle to protect the
    glorious truth that man is
    saved by grace and grace
    alone, we often forget and
    neglect another great truth:
    to follow CHRIST is to serve
    and minister to our neighbor,
    to follow CHRIST is to deny
    ourself completely all that we
    are as well as all that we
    have, when we love our
    neighbor as our self, we show
    that we completely love GOD,
    if we don’t love and minister
    to our neighbor above self
    then we do not love GOD.
    LUKE 9:23
    When we deny self by giving
    all we are and have, then and
    only then do we receive
    heaven and the treasures of
    heaven, to deny self, is to give
    all we are and have, is a hard
    saying; but CHRIST demand
    it, our attempt to soften it do
    not annual CHRIST demand of
    given to the poor and needy
    JOHN 15:7-8
    7)If ye abide in Me and
    My words abide in you,
    ye shall ask what ye will,
    and it shall be done unto
    you
    8)Herein is my FATHER
    glorified, that ye bear
    much fruit; so shall ye
    be My disciple
    If you abide in Me, and My
    word abide in you, abiding in
    CHRIST is here explained by
    His words , if you adhere
    steadfastly to the doctrine,
    which I have taught you,
    firmly believing My
    declarations, diligently
    obeying My precept, and
    affectionately embracing and
    relying on My promises,
    abiding in the
    disciples/believer, which
    means the Gospel and the
    truth of it, this word abides
    when it come with power, and
    becomes the engrafted
    words, in the believers heart,
    the word of CHRIST must
    remain abide in the believer
    if you remain in Me, the
    thought is that a believer
    must take the word of
    CHRIST and study and learn
    them, have his thoughts and
    desires controlled by them, be
    motivated and be controlled
    by them.
    The branch is to attached to
    the vine, it remains and
    abides in the vine(JESUS
    CHRIST) dwells and lives and
    never faces a moment, he
    lives, and walks in the very
    presence of CHRIST, never
    facing a moment when he is
    not attached and walking in
    CHRIST, a believer walks in
    constant fellowship and
    prayer, he is always remaining
    (abiding) in JESUS CHRIST,
    the vine is always nourishing
    the branch, always sending its
    life-giving food and drink to
    the branch, CHRIST is always
    sharing His life giving
    nourishment with the
    believer, if the teachings so
    abide with the believer so as
    to control His thoughts and
    ideas , remains in the believer
    as to guide your inspiration
    and regulate your affection
    and life, then, because the
    indwelling of His word in them
    would secure the harmony of
    their asking with the Divine
    will
    YE SHALL ASK WHAT YE
    WILL
    You shall ask what you will,
    and it shall be done unto you,

    and in whom His word abides,

    they will especially ask for
    Spiritual blessings , which
    they know it is His will, they
    should ask and receive; and
    will ask them in the way which
    He hath prescribed , namely
    sincerely , earnestly,
    persistently , and in the way
    of repentance, faith, and new
    obedience; in the name of
    JESUS CHRIST, by answering
    prayer and meeting the needs
    of the genuine believer

    you, and ordained you,
    that ye should go and
    bring forth fruit, and
    that you fruit should
    remain: that whatsoever
    ye shall ask of the
    FATHER in My name, he
    may give it you
    You have not chosen Me, but
    I have chosen you , as their
    LORD and Master, Savior and
    Redeemer, I chose you and
    select you as an individuals, I
    destined you to accomplish
    work dear to Me and essential
    of My Kingdom,
    ORDAINED YOU
    I have appointed and placed
    and purposefully planted you,
    set you apart,
    BEAR FRUIT
    The supreme purpose of
    believers is to go and bear
    fruit, they are chosen and
    appointed by CHRIST, and
    given the very purpose of
    CHRIST Himself: to go into
    the world and bear fruit
    among men, so that you
    would go and bear fruit and
    keep on bearing, that you
    should be rich in good works;
    faithful and successful in
    spreading My Gospel, it is not
    to be idle, or useless, or
    simply to seek pleasure, it is
    to do good, and to spread as
    far as possible the rich
    Spiritual blessings which the
    Gospel is fitted to confer on
    mankind, to go forth as
    ambassador for CHRIST,
    proclaiming the glorious
    gospel
    THAT YOU FRUIT SHALL
    REMAIN
    And that your fruit will remain
    and be lasting, their efforts
    were not to be like those like
    the false teachers whose
    result will soon vanish away,
    that the effect of their labor
    will be permanent on
    mankind, that their Gospel will
    have a deep and hold on
    people, and ultimately to fill
    the world
    THAT WHAT SO YOU ASK
    FROM THE FATHER
    That the granting of prayers
    brings and its continuance by
    going to bring forth fruit we
    enter into that relation with
    GOD from which proceeds the
    prayer in the name of the Son,
    so that whatever you ask of
    the FATHER in My name as
    My disciples/believer, I He
    may give you wherefore as
    they would stand in need of
    Divine assistance, they are
    assured them of it
    LUKE 3:11
    11)He answereth and
    said unto them, he that
    hath two coats, let him
    impart to him that hath
    none; and he that hath
    meat let him do likewise
    He answered and said unto
    them, he that hath two coats,
    the remedy of selfishness is
    the root of evil, let him impart
    to him that hath none, John
    the Baptist, stirred people, the
    people wanted to know how
    repentance and to show that
    their repentance is genuine,
    the demand is to do good
    would affect their lives, just
    what a changed life would
    mean, what kind of fruits
    should they bears? John
    answered in the most
    practical terms, and he does
    not want to put upon them
    the ceremonial observance
    but to love of our neighbor,
    which involves the love of
    GOD, and so the whole law.
    The man that is converted
    was to love and care enough
    to share his materials goods
    with those who were in need,
    giving out your clothing and
    food, the basic necessity of
    life, the given was to be
    sacrificial, the giver was to so
    love and care so much that he
    would be gripped with
    compassion and
    unselfishness, he would give
    what he had such fruit would
    be evidence of repentance, of
    a life truly changed, of a man
    who was truly seeking GOD to
    forgive his sin, let him
    likewise; that is, he that has a
    sufficiency of food, and more
    than enough for himself and
    family, let him give it freely
    and cheerfully to the poor and
    needy, for such sacrifice GOD
    is well pleased; and when
    such acts of kindness are
    done in faith, from the
    principle of love, and with a
    view to the glory of GOD, they
    are fruits of grace, and such
    as are meet for repentance

    45)And sold their
    possessions and goods,
    and parted them to all
    men them down at, as
    every man had need
    The early believers were a
    people who were together
    and who share in ministry
    being together , because they
    were of the same call, mind,
    spirit and purpose , the
    believers sold their
    possessions property,
    particular real estate land,
    houses, vineyards moveable
    and unmovable and goods,
    that is, they sold as much as
    was necessary, the rich sold
    their estates and divided
    them among the poor and
    needy , because it was
    commanded by CHRIST,
    which in most cases was deny
    and ignore by the church
    denial of the truth does not
    do away with the truth,
    What CHRIST demands that
    we give all we are and have
    and follow Him, is that we
    give in order to produce the
    means of providing for the
    desperate needs of the
    ravaging world, according as
    any man had need ,and parted
    them to all, they distributed
    them to supply the need of
    their poorer brethren according to their necessities,
    as every man have needs.
    In our struggle to protect the
    glorious truth that man by
    grace and grace alone saves,
    we often forget and neglect
    another great truth: to follow
    CHRIST is to serve and
    Minister to our neighbor, to
    follow CHRIST is to deny self
    completely, all that we are as
    well as all that we have, when
    we love our neighbor as
    ourselves, then we show that
    we truly love GOD, if we do
    not love and minister to our
    neighbor (above self), then we
    do not love GOD, it is the love 
    of the world that makes us
    unwilling to give up the
    possessions we have
    obtained, the comfort,
    recognition, power, position
    and pride, by refusing to take
    and give what we have, we
    make the fatal mistake of
    showing by demonstrating
    that we love the things of the
    world more than we love
    people; that man prefer
    hoarding and extravagance
    living, that man love the world
    more than we love the hope
    for eternal life, man love
    position,, recognition and
    power of the world’s
    possession more than love for
    CHRIST
    Possession pulls a man away
    from GOD LUKE 12:15-21 ,it
    is difficult for a person who
    has possessions to enter into
    the kingdom of heaven,
    because there is a pull or
    lure, an attraction, a force, a
    power that reach out and
    draws aways any one who
    look at or possess wealth,
    there is a forceful pulls that
    will enslave any man who
    hoards and fails to turn to
    GOD by giving to the poor
    and the needy of the dying
    world
    ACTS 9:36-40
    36)Now there was at
    Joppa a certain disciple
    named Tabitha, which by
    interpretation is called
    Dorcas: this woman was
    full of good works and
    alms deeds which she did
    37)And it came to pass
    in those days, that she
    was sick, and died;
    whom when they had
    washed, they laid her in
    an upper chamber
    38)And forasmuch as
    Lydda was nigh to
    Joppa, and the disciples
    had heard that Peter
    was nigh to Joppa, and
    the disciples had heard
    that Peter was there,
    they sent unto him two
    men, desiring him that
    he would not delay to
    come to them
    39)Then Peter arose and
    went with them, when he
    was come, they brought
    him into the upper
    chamber; and all the
    widows stood by him
    weeping, and showing
    the coats and garments
    which Dorcas made,
    while she was with them
    40)But Peter put them
    all forth, and kneeled
    down, and prayed; and
    turning him to the body
    said Tabitha, arise, and
    she opened her eyes;
    and when she saw
    Peter, she sat up
    There was at Joppa a noted
    Seaport in the neighborhood ,
    now Jaffa lying on the
    Mediterranean Sea, about
    forty miles from Jerusalem,
    and the nearest Maritime
    Town to it, it is mentioned in
    the Old Testament by the
    name of Japho
    JOSHUA 19:46 and was the
    place to which the Materials
    for building Solomon’s temple
    were brought in floats by Sea,
    and carried from thence by
    land to Jerusalem, it was here
    that Jonah took ship for
    Tarshish, JONAH 1:3
    A certain female disciple ,
    named Tabitha her Jewish
    name ,and Dorcas her Greek
    name , which signifies a gazelle
    This woman was fully
    committed to CHRIST, a very
    faithful and devoted disciple,
    full of dong good , she was
    rich in good works doing all
    kind of good, serving, was
    constantly employed in doing
    good to those who need
    help ,her works both many
    and good, and alms deed,
    which she did; she was very
    kind and beneficent to the
    poor and needy, she wrought
    with her hands much for their sakes,
    And it came to pass in those
    days, while Peter was in those
    parts, and particularly at
    Lydda, which was near, that
    she fell sick and died: fell ill
    with some disorder, and died
    of it, whom, when they had
    washed, among most people
    it has been customary to
    wash the body before it is
    buried, they prepared her in
    the usual manner for
    interment in the upper
    chambers,
    They sent two men to ask
    Peter, to come and seek the
    LORD in behalf of Dorcas,
    that he might come to
    comfort those that were
    concerned in the great loss of
    so good a woman, and, it
    may be, not without some
    hopes of her recovery by a
    miracle from Peter, desiring
    him, that he would not delay
    to come to them, then Peter
    arose and went with them,
    Doubtless GOD incline him to
    do so, intended to work an
    extra ordinary miracle by him,
    for the manifestation of the
    truth and glory, and when he
    came to Tabitha’s House  
    they brought him up to the 
    upper chamber, where she
    was laid, a deep sorrow was
    expressed for Dorcas, the
    dedicated believer
    And all the widow’s whom
    benefited by her kindness,
    who had been relieve by her
    compassion , these were
    poor widows , to whom
    Dorcas had been very liberal,
    stood by him weeping
    showing and pointing to the
    clothes they were actually
    wearing the clothes, garment
    she had made in her when
    she was with them.
    The source of power to raise
    the dead is JESUS CHRIST,
    Peter put them out of the
    room, that he might pray the
    more earnestly, without
    distraction or interruption;
    there are there incidents in
    the Scripture were the dead
    were raised in similar
    circumstances,
    JESUS and Jairus daughter
    MATTHEW 5:40-42
    Elijah and the widow’s son
    1 King 17:17-24 and Elisha
    shut the door to him when he
    prayed for the Shunammite’s son
    2 KING 4:33
    Peter kneel down and pray,
    in which he chose to be
    private alone, and turning to
    the body; the corps of Dorcas,
    after he prayed, and was
    assured that the power of
    CHRIST would be exercised in
    raising of it, said Tabitha
    arise; which was spoken in
    the name of JESUS CHRIST is
    not of the apostle, she
    opened her eyes

    of saint, the believer is to
    meet the needs of people

    please his neighbor for
    his good to edification
    We that are strong, who have
    attained a greater degree of

    of the weak, accommodate
    ourself with their
    weakness ,the strong bear the

    father and mother would carry
    a child, in love and
    tenderness, understanding
    and care, the believer has the
    greatest patten in all the
    world for denying self and
    living for his neighbor, we
    please, help, support, and live
    for the good of our neighbor,
    not to please ourselves , not

    8)And GOD is able to
    make all grace abound
    towards you: that ye,
    always having all
    sufficiency in all things,
    may abound to every
    good work
    And GOD is able to make all
    grace abound towards you,
    the meaning here is GOD is
    able to make every gift of His
    loving -kindness to abound to
    you that you will not feel the
    loss of a generous
    contribution , do not suppose
    that by giving liberally you will
    be impoverished and reduced
    to want , you should rather
    confine in GOD , who is able
    to furnish you abundantly
    with what is needful for the
    supply of your necessities ,
    Divine blessing rests upon the
    liberal man, and GOD keeps
    Him from want
    The believer is called upon to
    give sacrificially; he is to give
    to meet the desperate need
    of the world, to give all
    beyond what we need for our
    own families, GOD is able to
    make all grace abound and
    overflow towards us, GOD is
    able to pay back what we
    give, the word “Grace” refers
    to the unmerited favor and
    blessing of GOD, both
    Spiritual and material, God
    expects the believer to give
    sacrificially so that the
    believer may abound in every
    good work, that is GOD gives
    the believer more and more
    return, than what the believer gives,
    That you always, if you give
    liberally you are to expect that
    GOD will furnish you with the
    means, so that you will be
    able to abound more and
    more in it, you are to expect
    that GOD will abundantly
    qualify you for doing good in
    every way, and that He will
    furnish you with all that is
    needful for this, the man who
    gives shall have faith in GOD
    he should expect that GOD
    should bless him in it
    GALATIANS 6:10
    10)As we have therefore
    opportunity, let us do
    good unto all men,
    especially unto them
    who are of the
    household of faith
    As we have therefore
    opportunity, ability let us do
    good unto all men, let it be
    our business to harm none,
    but to supply the necessities
    of all men; either with our
    Spiritual advice and counsels,
    with all the assistance we can
    give them, that may in a way
    be of Spiritual benefit or
    advantage to them with our
    worldly goods, as there is
    ability of well doing, and that
    continues; while time life
    lasts, which is the time for
    sowing, or doing good works,
    ministering to their
    necessities it is true rule
    about doing good, withhold
    not good from them to whom
    it is due, when it is in the
    power of thine hand to do it
    PROVERBS 3:27, it is not that
    we are to do it when it is
    convenient; or when it
    advance the interest of a
    party; or when it will
    contribute to our fame; the
    rule is that we are to do it
    when we have the
    opportunity, no matter how
    often that occurs, self-denial
    may cost us much, if we have
    the opportunity to do good,
    we are to do it, and should be
    thankful for the privilege, and
    is to be done to all people,
    not only to our family; not to
    our party; not to our own
    colors; not does who live in
    the same land with us, but to
    all mankind.
    Especially to the believers to
    the Gospel and influencing
    their lives.

    work, and increasing in
    the knowledge of GOD
    That you might walk worthy of
    the LORD, that you may live

    CHRIST
    Being confident, it means to

    for what He had done for
    them, he express his firm
    hope of their doggedness for

    GOD’S work, he is the

    away the stony heart, and
    giving a heart of flesh, an
    infusion of Spiritual life, a
    formation of CHRIST in the
    Soul, and the implementation

    genuine believer, believers
    know GOD , the Spirit of GOD
    actually lives within the heart
    and body of the
    believer ,JOHN 14:15-17

    with the Spirit of the believer,
    the believer has absolute
    confidence in the work of
    Salvation, which GOD has
    begun in his life, he has
    confidence through the
    presence of GOD’S Spirit who
    dwells in him, the work begun

    changes the life of the
    believer, no matter what kind
    of life the person were living
    the good work is GOD’S, He
    began it and He will perfect it,
    once GOD converts him, the
    new believer begins to live a
    good life; a life of
    righteousness, purity, love,
    joy, faith, humility, and control
    The good work is incomplete
    as long as a believer lives on
    this earth there is always a
    work to do, God is always

    giveth us richly all things

    18) That they do good,
    that they be rich in good
    works; ready to
    distribute, willing to
    communicate
    Charge them that are rich in
    this world, the things of the
    world, the rich person is not
    to trust in the uncertainty of
    riches, riches are about the
    most uncertain thing in life,
    the world economy is never
    certain, fluctuating up and
    down every year, even if a
    person keep his wealth in this
    life, disease or accident can happen
    the charge is forceful, that
    they be not high-minded, that
    they do not think better of
    themselves on account of
    their money, or any thing it
    can purchase, they should not
    be prideful and arrogant, they
    should not value themselves
    on account of their wealth,
    they should not suppose that
    they are any better people or
    nearer to heaven because
    they are wealthy, the world
    honor money, riches really
    makes no distinction in the
    great things that pertain to
    character and salvation, or
    great, or good ,their riches do
    not lift them up into a high
    opinion of themselves, which
    worldly riches often do, riches
    produce pride rich men are
    always proud of themselves
    and despite others,
    NOR TRUST IN UNCERTAIN
    RICHES
    Riches are uncertain because
    they may soon be taken away,
    the world economy is never
    certain , fluctuating up and
    down ,is uncertain to day they
    are here and tomorrow gone,
    no dependance can be place
    on them in the emergencies
    of life, he who is rich today,
    has no security that he will be
    tomorrow, a man whose hose
    is in flames, or who is
    shipwrecked, by thieves
    BUT IN THE LIVING GOD
    But the rich persons, let them
    repose their trust in GOD, set
    their heart and life upon GOD,
    He is the living and the only
    one that possesses every
    good thing and perfect gift,
    he alone can give us the
    perfect gifts necessary for
    this and next life, who gives
    us richly all things to enjoy,
    GOD, has life in Himself and
    originally; is the author , giver
    and sustainer of life in others,
    and who always is, ever
    continues unchangeably the
    same; created all things and
    gives all things richly largely,
    plenteously; what is
    necessary convenient, and
    abundantly more than men
    deserve:
    THAT THEY DO GOOD, THAT
    THEY BE RICH IN GOOD
    WORKS
    Command, instruct them to
    do good, to be rich in good
    works, or deeds, the deeds of
    the rich man is to distribute
    his wealth and be generous in
    it, as Dorcas is said to be full
    of good works and alms
    deeds that their good works
    may be as abundant as their
    riches, to be generous, give
    freely without grudging,
    willing to share with others
    free giver; the heart not
    cleaving to possessions, but
    ready to impart to others,,
    GOD expect the rich man to
    do good and be rich in good
    works, he is to be sacrificial
    in meeting the needs of the
    lost and poor and dying of the
    world.

    constantly, that they
    which have believed in
    GOD might be careful to
    maintain good works,
    these things are good

    appearance of love, kindness,
    mercy and compassion of
    GOD to them in the effectual
    calling; in which such an
    abundance of grace is
    communicated, these things I
    will that they which have
    believed in GOD might be
    careful to maintain good
    works, believers must do
    good works and keep on
    doing them, to be forward
    and eager and diligent in
    doing good works, make them
    the constant subject of your
    teaching and preaching, that
    they who believed in GOD
    might be careful to maintain
    good works, the good works,
    here refer not merely to acts
    of benevolence and giving to
    show compassion to the poor
    and needy, but to all that is
    upright and good to an honest
    and righteous life.
    Which means, to keep on
    doing good works, to sustain
    good works, to persevere in
    doing good works, to carry on
    doing good work, good works
    must be sustained against all
    odds regardless of

    difficulties, it means to
    persevere good work even in
    opposition or danger, the
    necessity of doing good work
    is brought is also brought out
    by the word “careful, the
    word means: to think upon
    good works, to consider good
    works, to give careful
    attention to good works, to
    focus upon good works.
    The idea is that the very
    thoughts of a person’s mind
    are to be centered and
    focused upon doing good
    works, good works are to be
    the very concentration and
    primary purpose of a
    believer’s life , believers are
    to be earnestly ,constantly
    and steadfastly insist and
    press for good works, good
    work is good and profitable
    for men, good work alone will
    build the kind of society and
    world which human heart
    longs a world of love, joy
    compassion, kindness mercy,
    peace and faith, we are not
    saved by the works of
    righteousness; we are saved
    by the mercy and grace of
    GOD through faith in JESUS
    CHRIST, but we are saved to
    do good works, to do what is
    good, good works are the
    purpose for which GOD saved

    saved is that we must

    That they be not fruitful, that

    in general, which are done in
    conformity to the revealed will
    of GOD, in faith, from
    principle of love, and with a

    meant to maintain them, and
    to set examples of them to
    others and the Constant

    put to silence the ignorance
    of the foolish man; and that

    with the Divine will of GOD
    that in this way you should
    put them to silence, the
    believer’s good behavior is to
    silence the critics of CHRIST,
    that with well doing, by doing
    good works, that they had to
    sacrifice themselves to meet
    the desperate needs of the
    dying world, and by living
    soberly, righteously , and
    godly; by having conversion
    honest among Gentiles by a
    life of uprightness and
    benevolence
    You may put to silence the
    ignorance of foolish men, that
    you may stop the mouths of
    those foolish men who know
    not GOD, who are ignorant of
    GOD, of His righteousness,
    His Gospel ,true wisdom
    consisting in the true
    knowledge of GOD, they that
    are ignorant of the knowledge
    of GOD, are called foolish

    things through JESUS
    CHRIST, this is the sole aim
    of the believer, he does not
    preach or teach to draw
    attention and gain a name for
    himself, he proclaims GOD’S
    word in order to glorify GOD
    through JESUS CHRIST, he
    does not preach to get
    recognition, honor, or praise,
    he preach and teach to stir
    praise and thanksgiving to
    GOD in the name of JESUS
    CHRIST, GOD and CHRIST
    alone deserved the praise
    and worship through the
    universe, no man deserves it,
    GOD alone is sovereign
