Note from Nolen - Are You Engaged In Doing Good Works?

In this month's Note from Nolen, he asks the question "are you engaged in doing good works?" Here's what he said.

"Are you engaged in doing the good works that God planned for you to do even before you were born? According to Ephesians 2:10, we learned we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which he prepared for us beforehand or even before we were born. Good works have nothing to do with our going to heaven.

Ephesians 2:8-9 make it very clear that we receive the salvation of God by grace through faith, but immediately following the verse that says, good works will not get you to heaven, but if you're going to heaven. You were created in Christ Jesus to do good works. Not just any good works, but the good works that God specifically designed and created and gifted you to do according to his plan.

If you're not engaged in doing those good works, GPS journey helps you identify, this is how God has created. And uniquely shaped and gifted me, and this is the mission and vision that God has for the next stage of my life. And specifically, identifying those good works that you should be engaged in because God created you in Christ Jesus for good works.

If you need assistance, we stand ready to serve you. To help you discover God's plan. For the next stage of your life."
