What used to be a beautiful truth about working for the Lord, has now turned into a heresy. There is a semi-new teaching that even repentance is works and considered evil. As well as many other things done in the body on behalf of Christ, are now considered to be condemned as evil works. This false teaching has it's roots in thorn bushes. It is a stumbling stone.

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:8-10

So we see that it is not by works that we are saved, it the gift of God. We see that we are created in Christ Jesus unto good works. We see that there are two works. The first one was accomplished and finished by Jesus Christ on the Cross of His crucifixion. Nothing can be added to it. That was the "work that was finished from the foundation of the world."

But now there is the new birth, the new creation that we live in, "being born again." The Holy Spirit living in us moves in us to do those good works that are pleasing to God our Father in Jesus name.

"I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ liveth within me. The life I live in the body, I now live by the faith in the Son of God who loved me, and gave His life for me." Galatians 2:20.

To think that anything you or I do in His name becomes some sinister work that is condemned by God is to shut up the life of God within you. It is in a sense, imprisoning the Holy Spirit from having any outward expression in you, in this world. Let no one rob you of the beautiful outward life expression of your walk in Christ.

The joyful expression of the new birth is freedom from the letter of some kind of twisted law that brings death. Look at the sons of Asaph who were the singers in the temple of the old testament. They were "over the business of the house of the Lord." How beautiful! Live for the Lord, live in Him, walk in Him, sing in Him, pray to Him, love and believe in Him. This is life in the Spirit and "You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail."

“I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.” ~Elizabeth Elliot
