I Peter 1: 17, "He will judge or reward you according to what you do"!
Observation: Scripture tells me I am not saved by my works - it is something I can never boast about. God has given me a gift of being saved. There is nothing I can do to repay Him.
My doing should be based on my growing desire to love and please God. Apparently God keeps track of what I do and will use it as a bases of my being judged. There is certainly a place for doing -- just keep it from becoming legalism.
Hebrews 11 is filled with examples of how people of faith did things based on their faith. I am reminded of another scripture that says, "be doers of the word and not just hearers".
Application: Today I will be sensitive to what I am doing and make sure my doing is being motiviated by who I am.
Prayer: Father - teach me to be a good doer of your word!
