A Man's Heart Will Determine His Works

                                            Ephesians 2:10
                        "For we are his workmanship, created in
                           Christ Jesus unto good works, which
                                God hath before ordained that
                                    we should walk in them."

        God created us body and soul, in Jesus Christ before the foundations of the world, and created unto good works. So here is were the good works come in.  You see, God did not save us because of the good works we were going to do, like accepting Him as our Savior.  No!  It is because God created us unto good works, which means that God had prepared these works long before we would come into existence.  God prepared the good works so that we would walk in them "automatically" as Christians.
        So the question is do we get credit for the good works.  No we don't!  God prepared those good works, we just step in the place and situation that God planned (or made).  The good works were a gift of God's grace.  we did not perform those good works perfectly, and we never will.  They will still be tainted by sin.  But through the Lord Jesus Christ, that sin is taken away so that those works become pleasing to God.  All God's mankind must remember, that God saved us entirely by His grace, and not by any works we have or might do.  Now just a little note from my heart: "It is the action and drive from you heart that will determine if your works please God.
        Amen!!
