The Question of Good Works:
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 2010

Q. Which of the following three statements best reflects your position on the Christian and good works?

1. The Christian does no good works at all.
2. The Christian does good works, but not meritorious good works.
3. The Christian does meritorious good works.

I am not good (Matthew 19:17). I am therefore incapable of doing good (Romans 3:12).
John Newton wrote: “If I hear, or pray, or read Sin is mixed in all I do. Ye that love the Lord indeed, Tell me, is it thus with you?”

I confess there is enough sin in my “best works” to condemn me to a thousand hells. I find it necessary to even repent of my repenting. I pray God never gives me what I deserve, for I am a “wretched man” (Romans 7:24) and chief of sinners (1 Timothy 1:15) and an “unclean thing” who must confess that “all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6).

Nevertheless, I have been through God's free and sovereign grace in Christ Jesus “created in Christ Jesus for good works” (Ephesians 2:10). But these are not my own, but those “which God prepared beforehand” (Ephesians 2:10). Therefore “it is God who works in [me] both to will and to do for His good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13). Any good deed ever attributable to me was “done in God” (John 3:21). I pray I will never be found among the ranks of works-mongers who boast of “what I have done for God.” I pray instead that I may follow the example of Barnabas and Saul when “they reported all that God had done with them” (Acts 14:27).
