INTRODUCTION

A. There are few in the religious world today who fail to realize the need for involvement in good works.

1. Jesus who is our example in all things (1 Peter 2:21), was declared to be one “who went about doing good” (Acts
10:38).

2. We know that we are to be involved in good works for this is a sign of Christian maturity.

3. Paul says that the man of God needs to be “perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works” (2 Timothy 3:17).

B. It is important that we not only understand the need to be involved in good works, but that they are to also be done by
the authority of Christ.

We must conduct self examination to be faithful to the Lord. How do we judge our integrity? 1) The Standard is the Lord, 2) The Service is Worship, 3) The State is Sanctification. Each person should conduct self evaluation according to the pattern set forth in Psalm 26.

Does the name of the church you are a member of reflect and honor our one Lord and God Jesus the Christ? I hope so. I also hope that the church of which you are a member reflects the identity of the New Testament church. If your church does not reflect that then I suggest you find a church that does. At the church of Christ, we strive to do just that, and we invite you to come and judge us in this regard. We invite constructive criticism. We want to know if we are not. We want to be transformed into the identity of Christ.

Introduction:

1. Recently I received a note in the suggestion box that reads: “A sermon on Are We Doing God’s Will? Or Are We Lukewarm or Have We Left Our First Love? We should find a work no matter how small or great and do it with all our might. Yes we hear this over and over and over but do we think the Lord is not talking to each and every one of us? It seems that we think and act as if we think someone else will do that task hence it usually doesn’t get done.”

2. My apologies to the author if you didn’t want the note read. However:

1) It reveals this concern in a way that I cannot.

2) It is a powerful call to Christian service.
