1 Samuel 5-6, Psalms 93, Romans 2:13-29
What God said to me – Those who are truly My children have been saved by grace through faith and that grace and faith was My gift to those I called so they could believe. Your good works don’t save you and your good works don’t keep you saved. But good works are important. One thing they do is to show that “I AM” at work in you and that you are being obedient to My direction and calling in your life. People should see your good works and praise Me and if they praise you instead then you use it as an opportunity to share how “I AM” transforming you and directing you in the good works you do. Conversely, if they know you belong to Me and you are selfish or coarse or greedy or contentious, then My name is blasphemed among them and My reputation is hurt. Always be aware that you are being watched and judged and it is not just your good name that is at stake, but Mine also.
