"When Faith WORKs!"
There are many things which portay themselves as Righteous WORKs, yet they are not what saves me, as the Apostle Paul writes in this letter.
God's Grace provides Salvation, and through HIS Spirit I gain both Knowledge and Power to do those WORKs which provide evidence that my heart has undergone a dramatic change.
An example of determining this difference is, that I seek to do HIS Righteous WORKS because of Love, not because I WORK seeking to be Loved.
Faith in itself is a WORK, where seeking God for direction and purpose, I must follow the Life examples of Christ Jesus, the Apostles and 1st century disciples, thus fulfilling HIS purpose.
Continuing in Obedience to God's WORD, must be the desire of my heart, as this pleases the Heart of God.
I have resolved to do what pleases HIM, where as before I would only do what pleased me, proving that my WORKs were dead and without merit before Holy Spirit renewed my heart and mind with Knowledge.
Receiving Power which transforms me from weakness with strength to accomplish HIS Righteous WORKs, these are now being done because I LOVE to please HIM more than myself.
To be Holy and Righteous as God desires, for me to be more like Christ each day, I then must submit my will to HIS Spirit, for this is my reasonable and acceptable service.
