(TEXT : Titus 3:8)
This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
FOCUS :
The fact that one is saved genuinely today, does not guaranteed or secured eternal life for the fellow. Salvation it’s not “a day job”; you have to keep working on yourself daily to put all those things you were saved from, under your feet. Sometimes, those things you were saved from can equally wage war against you, and if you are not working on yourself daily, you might fall victim again, again and even again before gaining your balance. For instance: pride, gossiping, jesting, anger, unforgivness, grudges, hypocrisy, hatred, boasting, envy, malice, ungrateful, unthankful, unholy and unrighteous living life.
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
1 Timothy 4:1-2, 16 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
In addition, which is why Bro Paul, encourages us to be more effective in our “GOOD WORKS.” You see, a “good name” is better than you having the whole riches in the world. The same thing goes with our salvation, if you can maintain the “good works” around your salvation constantly, the Grace of God will be sufficient to carry you through your journey here on earth. Meaning, acknowledging it daily that Jesus died for you on the Cross, confess Him as your Lord and personal Saviour in your daily prayers, and keep your soul far away from anything that looks like abominations or immorality; then your salvation will be absolute.
Ephesians 2:6-10 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Philippians 2:12
Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Finally, another way to demonstrate your “good works” are: help the needy, support the poor, sacrifice to enhance church projects, encourage those who are falling off from Faith, strengthen those who are weak around you, pray for your leaders, fast often to maintain fellowship with God; read the Word of God, meditate on the Word and study the Word of to show yourself approved unto God. All your “GOOD WORKS” will always following you and will shapes your salvation to remain “fire burning.”
Leviticus 6:12-13 And the fire upon the altar shall be burning in it; it shall not be put out: and the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order upon it; and he shall burn thereon the fat of the peace offerings. The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
