MEDITATION NOTES ON EPHESIANS 2:10 (GOOD WORKS PART 6) - WHY GOOD WORKS?

Believing Women, Ministers, Believing Citizens and Rich Believers; why Good Works?

A. Believing citizens should do good works so that they will not go against the rulers/law and incur their/its wrath (Romans 13:3).

B. Believing citizens should do good works so that they might receive commendation and praise from rulers (Romans 13:3).

C. Believing citizens should do good works so that they might enjoy the ministry of rulers (Romans 13:4).

D. Believing citizens should do good works for the sake of conscience (Romans 13:5).

E. Believing women should do good works because good works are an adornment for them (1Timothy 2:9&10).

F. Believing women should do good works because good works are becoming to them (who profess godliness) (1Timothy 2:10).

G. Ministers should do good works because ministry itself is a good work (1Timothy 3:1).

H. Ministers should do good works to show themselves as a pattern for other believers (including the ones to whom they directly minister) (Titus 2:7).

I. Rich believers should do good works (of giving) because doing good works is laying up a good foundation against the time to come and laying hold on eternal life (1Timothy 6:17-19).

J. Believing citizens should do good works because the Scriptures instruct us to be ready to EVERY good work, even before earthly authorities, and to be obedient to them (Titus 3:1).
