Why Do We Do Good Works
NOVEMBER 7 & 8, 2026
Daily Reading—Jeremiah 38-41 / Hebrews 3
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
Titus 3:8 This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable unto men.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Pastors are constantly asking people to do things in the church. Ministries always need more workers. The question is, why should we do good works anyway?
Do we do good deeds for salvation? Today’s verse speaks to “They which have believed.” The bible says, works cannot save us. So, is it to pay God back for giving Christ to save us? Ask yourself, how much would you charge to give up your child in death? Good works could never repay God. Look at the verse again. It says we are to maintain or continue in good works because they are good and profitable unto men. Why do we do good works? Because they glorify God by showing God’s love through us.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
What does your life show others about your God in you?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
WHAT TO DO ON SUNDAY:
On Sundays, we encourage you to attend your local church and listen intently to what God has prepared in your pastor’s heart. Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message.
Then, when you get home, reread those passages for today’s reading.
God has given your pastor exactly what He desires for you to have on that day.
