Walking in Good Works
Ephesians 2:10, “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
We don’t obey to earn God’s grace, but God does invite us into walking in the path of good works. And why would we do this? Because when we walk in this way, we get to enjoy more of what God has for us in Jesus.
Obedience is costly, but it is the path to getting to enjoy the depths of joyful fellowship with Christ.

Prayer
“God, I know your love for me isn’t conditional on obedience. I am saved by grace through faith in Christ, but I hear you say that obedience is the better way.
