While it is necessary that we perform works as disciples we all have different motivations. Good deeds speak of the work that Christ has done in us, delivering to us salvation. These ‘deeds’ bring great assurance of our salvation. 1 Tim 3:13 “Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Christ Jesus.”(NIV) Discipline can result from resisting the will of God in doing these fore-ordained actions. God wanted to reach the people of Nineveh. Jonah decided he would go the opposite way and ended up in the belly of a fish. Moses was almost killed by God for his refusal to go and save His people. Mary, in John chapter 11, anointed Jesus with oil but her motivation was love. All three people carried out the will of God. Two were inspired by discipline and one was driven by gratitude. If we consider our motivation in doing good works it will speaks volumes about our relationship with Jesus. Something to think about…
