Just like Salvation, good works are preordained, from God.

Good works cannot produce salvation but are subsequent and resultant God-empowered fruits and evidences of it (cf. Jn 15:8 ; Php 2:12 , 13 ; 2Ti 3:17 ; Titus 2:14 ; Jas 2:16–26 ). which God prepared beforehand. Like his salvation, a believer’s sanctification and good works were ordained before time began ( see notes on Ro 8:29 , 30 ).
What a great reminder, that it is God, who Generously supplies all we need, notice, it does not say all we want. Sometimes, he also supplies an abundance more than we need.
If you are a Blessed recipient, how about an Amen!
How blessed are those who observe His testimonies, Who seek Him with all their heart.
Psalms 119:2 NASB
All power, strength and honor to you, Amen! Thank you Jesus, for using these frail bodies, for your purposes, everyday. Show us your Glory, everyday, so that we might glorify you.
Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21 NASB

God with us. God became man, humbling himself, God’s only son, his Kingdom come, his will was done, forever changing our lives for those who have Faith in him. We are weak, but he makes us strong. We have life, because he gave his own, for our transgressions. We are blessed, and may we always live in the light, of his glory, both now, and when he returns one day, to establish his eternal kingdom here, in a new heaven and earth. Have a blessed Christmas Eve.
She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Matthew 1:21 NASB

One of the huge foundations of our faith, is that the bible is Gods living, spoken Word. This verse says…….GOD created MAN in his image. Think about that for moment. We have a likeness of God’s characteristics. We are by no means, the same as God, but like him. I think this should be something that we hold dear, to our hearts. Even though we are imperfect, God loves us dearly. Shouldn’t we do the same, not only in the church, but also, to a lost and dying world. Not because we are so good, but because God is so good! It truly is, and forever will be amazing Grace. May fill us with this wonderful truth today, that we might strengthened and encouraged today, that we might do the same for others.
We have new life, for those in Christ, because he gave his life for us. May we never forget this wonderful gift, that it might fill us with new purpose, and hope, every day.
If you seek him, you will find him. His creation calls out to a mighty, yet caring God, who has made everything. Do you not see it? I pray your eyes are opened up, just as mine were to his wonderful truths. Read Psalm 19, maybe it will help.
Answer me, O Lord , answer me, that this people may know that You, O Lord , are God, and that You have turned their heart back again.”
1 Kings 18:37 NASB

Salvation cannot be earned, but is a free gift from God that can only be received with Thanksgiving. The harder we try to earn it, the more impossible it becomes. Won’t you accept this free gift (not free to the one giving it) today, in faith?
And looking at them Jesus said to them, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
