Philippians 1

Works! We don’t get ahead with God through them, but they are an indication that He is on our insides. When He is in our hearts, we DO them. It’s actually evidence that He is at work in us.

Our natural inclination is to look out for ourselves, but the Christ inside us is concerned with others. Let THIS mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.

The key is to get Christ on the inside of people. He then begins His work. Day by day they experience Christ working on them to get them ready to reign with Him forever. It is God working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure. We are not saved by good works, but we are definitely saved to DO good works.
