Whatsoever

WORDs of Saving Grace - whatsoever

Colossians 3:17  And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

It sure makes a difference when our motive and goal is to bring glory to Jesus. This is all that will matter when our works as Christians are tried.

1 Corinthians 3:13  Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Acknowledging all good fruits are the result of God's grace brings praise to Him, for without Him we could do nothing!

John 15:5

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Even as Jesus always choose His Fathers will.

John 8:29  And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

Beware that we do not do works in the name of the Lord out of our own lust and attribute it to Him; as many have throughout history. For that will be declared in the day of judgement.

Jeremiah 14:14

Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
