“What About Works?”

 


“What About Works?”

6/22/12
 
So many reject any thought
never to be counted for work
only by the Grace being needed
the definition goes unheeded;
 
Grace means the Power of God
given to each to be able to endure
while by our works will we be known
for ‘faith without works is dead’*;
 
And as Paul often admonishes all
to be found in doing good works
thus where do we seek to be known
being only hearers of the word?
 
Titus 3:1 “…to be ready to every good work,”
*James 1: 17 “Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.”
