Good Works
(Not Lord, Lord, but he who does the will of Father)
Mt 7:21 Not every one that says unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

(To have life, keeps the commandments)
Mt 19:16-17 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? Mt 19:17 And he said unto him, Why calls thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

(He who keeps my commandments loves me)
Jn 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

(Eternal life by perseverance in good works)
Rom 2:2-8 But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. Rom 2:3 And thinks thou this, O man, that judges them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shall escape the judgment of God? Rom 2:4 Or despises thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads thee to repentance? Rom 2:5 But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasures up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; Rom 2:6 Who will render to every man according to his deeds: Rom 2:7 To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: Rom 2:8 But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath,

(Nothing counts but faith working through love)
Gal 5:4-6 Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. Gal 5:5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Gal 5:6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availed any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
.
(We are created in Christ Jesus for good works)
Eph 2:8-10 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
.
(Work out salvation with fear and trembling)
Phil 2:12-13 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. Phil 2:13 For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.

(A man is justified by works and not faith alone)
Jam 2:14-24 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him? Jam 2:15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, Jam 2:16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Jam 2:17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Jam 2:18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works. Jam 2:19 Thou believes that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Jam 2:21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Jam 2:22 Sees thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? Jam 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which says, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Jam 2:24 You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Rev 22:12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to every man according to his works.
