The Birth of New Blog
This blog in an extension of my other blog, destruction of Gog, and shall hopefully have posts that are either finished college papers. Or, shall be new posts that take the form of a paper.
In short it means you can read the intresting things I write rather than the stray thoughts.

GOOD WORKS
Matthew 5:16 commands us all to do good works as a way to let our light shine before men, so as to give glory to God.
In Matthew 25, at the final judgment, only the people who performed good works got into heaven (Matthew 25:31-46).
The people who did not were banished into hell. In those verses, Jesus said that whatever we do for the least of our brethren, we do to HIM!
In the book of James, God declares through Scripture that faith without works is dead (James 2:14-17).
Who wants dead faith? Dead faith is no faith at all. True faith in Jesus has good works embedded in it.
Paul says that scripture makes you complete by equipping you for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
Jesus says that we will do greater works than He did (John 14:12). The only useless kind of works are old Jewish works of the law (Galatians 3:10), like circumcision, ritual hand washing, and dietary laws.
These useless works of the law are certainly not good works, which we have to do as a result of our faith in Jesus Christ, and which we were created for (Ephesians 2:10).
