For Good Works

Ephesians 2:10 (ESV Strong's)

10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Works will not save us, but they are evidence of transformation and the presence of the Spirit, which we refer to as the fruit of the Spirit. We are a work in progress, being made in the image of God. It must be possible to be saved, but not made in the image of God. John 3:16 says if we believe we will be saved. Perhaps this is the great multitude in white robes without number who stand before the throne of heaven. (Rev 7:9)

Walking where the Spirit leads will bring us to the thrones of the elders before the throne of the Lord. These are the good works for which we are created, the hallmarks of the life of a new creation in Christ. 

There we will take a seat wearing the crowns of those who overcome the world.
