Bible Question: Ephesians 2:9-10 is where I need better understanding as verse 9 (KJV) reads "Not of works,lest any man should boast." However verse 10 tells us "unto good works" What does good works actually mean ? I would really like to get a clearer picture. KJ |
Bible Answer: I think Jesus gave us the best answer with the parable of the Good Samaritan. Whenever we find something that needs doing, we're supposed to do it and give the glory to God. Forget about getting the praise of men. Remember, if that's what you're after, that's all you'll get. Each one of us has a conscience and it whispers to us all the time "I really should have done that thing/task with a little more kindness or thoughtfulness." "I could have done a better job of preparing a certain thing at work so as to allow my fellow workers more time to do their thing in response." Everything we do should be done if it were our last day on earth. We really should take WWJD more seriously than just wearing a braclet. If we did, this world would be a better place to live in. What do you think? God bless. |
