The concept of works is significant in both the Old and New Testaments, often relating to obedience to God's commandments, moral conduct, and the evidence of faith.<br><br><b>Old Testament Perspective</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, works are frequently associated with adherence to the Law given by God to the Israelites. The Law, including the Ten Commandments and various ceremonial and civil regulations, required the Israelites to perform specific actions as a demonstration of their covenant relationship with God. For example, <a href="/deuteronomy/6-25.htm">Deuteronomy 6:25</a> states, "And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness."<br><br>The prophets also emphasized the importance of works, particularly in terms of justice, mercy, and humility. <a href="/micah/6-8.htm">Micah 6:8</a> declares, "He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?"<br><br><b>New Testament Perspective</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the relationship between faith and works becomes a central theological issue. The Apostle Paul, in his letters, emphasizes that salvation is by faith and not by works. <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a> states, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast."<br><br>However, Paul also acknowledges the role of works as a natural outcome of genuine faith. <a href="/ephesians/2-10.htm">Ephesians 2:10</a> continues, "For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance as our way of life."<br><br>The Epistle of James further elaborates on the relationship between faith and works, arguing that faith without works is dead. <a href="/james/2-17.htm">James 2:17</a> asserts, "So too, faith by itself, if it does not result in action, is dead." James emphasizes that works are the evidence of a living faith, illustrating this with examples from the lives of Abraham and Rahab.<br><br><b>Jesus and Works</b><br><br>Jesus Christ's teachings also highlight the importance of works as an expression of one's relationship with God. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls His followers to let their light shine before others, "that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven" (<a href="/matthew/5-16.htm">Matthew 5:16</a>).<br><br>Moreover, Jesus underscores the significance of works in the context of judgment. In <a href="/matthew/25-31.htm">Matthew 25:31-46</a>, the parable of the sheep and the goats illustrates that acts of kindness and mercy towards others are seen as service to Christ Himself.<br><br><b>The Role of Works in Christian Life</b><br><br>For Christians, works are not the means of salvation but are the fruit of a transformed life in Christ. The New Testament encourages believers to engage in good works as a response to God's grace and as a testimony to their faith. <a href="/titus/3-8.htm">Titus 3:8</a> advises, "This saying is trustworthy. And I want you to emphasize these things, so that those who have believed God will be intent on engaging in good works. These things are excellent and profitable for the people."<br><br>In summary, while works cannot earn salvation, they are an essential aspect of the Christian life, reflecting the believer's faith and obedience to God.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Works, Covenant of<p>Entered into by God with Adam as the representative of the human race (Comp. <a href="/genesis/9-11.htm">Genesis 9:11</a>, 12; <a href="/genesis/17-1.htm">17:1</a>-21), so styled because perfect obedience was its condition, thus distinguishing it from the covenant of grace. (see <a href="../c/covenant.htm">COVENANT OF WORKS</a>.) <p>Works, Good<p>The old objection against the doctrine of salvation by grace, that it does away with the necessity of good works, and lowers the sense of their importance (<a href="/context/romans/6.htm">Romans 6</a>), although it has been answered a thousand times, is still alleged by many. They say if men are not saved by works, then works are not necessary. If the most moral of men are saved in the same way as the very chief of sinners, then good works are of no moment. And more than this, if the grace of God is most clearly displayed in the salvation of the vilest of men, then the worse men are the better.<p>The objection has no validity. The gospel of salvation by grace shows that good works are necessary. It is true, unchangeably true, that without holiness no man shall see the Lord. "Neither adulterers, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards" shall inherit the kingdom of God.<p>Works are "good" only when, (1) they spring from the principle of love to God. The moral character of an act is determined by the moral principle that prompts it. Faith and love in the heart are the essential elements of all true obedience. Hence good works only spring from a believing heart, can only be wrought by one reconciled to God (<a href="/ephesians/2-10.htm">Ephesians 2:10</a>; <a href="/james/2-18.htm">James 2:18</a>,22). <p>(2.) Good works have the glory of God as their object; and (3) they have the revealed will of God as their only rule (<a href="/deuteronomy/12-32.htm">Deuteronomy 12:32</a>; <a href="/revelation/22-18.htm">Revelation 22:18</a>, 19).<p>Good works are an expression of gratitude in the believer's heart (<a href="/john/14-15.htm">John 14:15</a>, 23; <a href="/galatians/5-6.htm">Galatians 5:6</a>). They are the fruits of the Spirit (<a href="/titus/2-10.htm">Titus 2:10</a>-12), and thus spring from grace, which they illustrate and strengthen in the heart.<p>Good works of the most sincere believers are all imperfect, yet like their persons they are accepted through the mediation of Jesus Christ (<a href="/colossians/3-17.htm">Colossians 3:17</a>), and so are rewarded; they have no merit intrinsically, but are rewarded wholly of grace. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">WORK; WORKS</span><p>wurk, wurks: "To work" in the Old Testament is usually the translation of `asah, or of pa`al (of the works both of God and of man), and "work" (noun) is most frequently the translation of ma`aseh, or mela'khah; in the New Testament of energeo, ergazomai (and compound), with ergon (noun). The word "works" (erga) is a favorite designation in John for the wonderful works of Jesus (5:36; 10:38; 15:24, etc.; "miracles" to us, "works" to Him). "Works" is used by Paul and James, in a special sense, as denoting (with Paul) those legal performances by means of which men sought to be accepted of God, in contradistinction to that faith in Christ through which the sinner is justified apart from all legal works (<a href="/romans/3-27.htm">Romans 3:27</a>; <a href="/romans/4-2.htm">Romans 4:2, 6</a>, etc.; <a href="/galatians/2-16.htm">Galatians 2:16</a>; <a href="/galatians/3-2.htm">Galatians 3:2, 5, 10</a>), "working through love" (<a href="/galatians/5-6.htm">Galatians 5:6</a> <a href="/1_thessalonians/1-3.htm">1 Thessalonians 1:3</a>), and is fruitful in all truly "good works," in which Christian believers are expected to abound (<a href="/2_corinthians/9-8.htm">2 Corinthians 9:8</a> <a href="/ephesians/2-10.htm">Ephesians 2:10</a> <a href="/colossians/1-10.htm">Colossians 1:10</a> <a href="/2_thessalonians/2-17.htm">2 Thessalonians 2:17</a>, etc.). When James speaks of being justified by "works" as well as by "faith" (2:14-26), he has in view those works which show faith to be real and vital. "Dead works" avail nothing (compare <a href="/hebrews/9-14.htm">Hebrews 9:14</a>; <a href="/hebrews/10-24.htm">Hebrews 10:24</a>). Judgment is according to "works" (<a href="/matthew/16-27.htm">Matthew 16:27</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "deeds," margin "Greek: `doing' " praxis; <a href="/romans/2-6.htm">Romans 2:6</a> <a href="/1_peter/1-17.htm">1 Peter 1:17</a>, etc.), the new life being therein evidenced. A contrast between "faith" and "good works" is never drawn in the New Testament.<br><br>See , further, JUSTIFICATION.<br><br>W. L.
