I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Galatians 2. “Know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified” (Verse 16). Good works is not enough, in fact good works just for the sake of being seen by others is empty. It has no meaning. Faith is doing even when no one sees. Faith is trusting and moving forward when the road is dark, knowing that as you take the first step God will light the path. Faith calls us to believe first, then because of our faith we WANT to do work for the One we love. Faith leads to truly “good” works. But work alone will never lead us to faith.
