Hi Showcrop, you are absolutely correct we are not saved by works, but by grace through faith and even our faith is the gift of God. Nevertheless once we are saved we have a responsibility to serve and obey God.It comes down to; why do we work? It is because we love Him and His love compels us to serve. Paul said in 2 Cor 5:14, "For the love of Christ constraineth us." Jesus said to His disciples, "If you love me keep my commandments." John 14:15 That speaks of first loving Christ, and if we do, we will willingly keep his commandments. This is taught in John 14:21 where we are told "he that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him." Interestingly, the words "hath" and "keepeth" refer to continual, repeated action, or a striving to have and keep, hence the Christian responsibility to pursue following the Lord's commands. The keeping of his commandments is the evidence of our love for Him. As verse 24 tells us not keeping His commands is the evidence we don't love Him. "He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me." The real danger of the saying is complacency. The Lord saved us to serve Him, we serve by doing His will which is keeping His commands, unless you have an additional calling such as preaching, then your responsibility has increased. In all, we need to remember we are His workmanship and not our own.
