place let every heart that needs to

we live a new life oh let us love sh
ring
you we’re Sav by his grace so we Embrace
Your Love
today we are
changed what are those conditions for
good
works that will be acceptable by
God what are those conditions that that
we need to be conscious
of before we try you know we we before
we try to do good works to get in God’s
favor that just contradicts the grace of
God doesn’t it do good works to try to
get in God’s favor and yet there are
lots of Christians who feel like that I
got to do some good works in order to go
to heaven I got to do some good works in
order to get God to bless me now I’m not
saying that good works are not important
but I am saying that that there are good
works that are accepted unto God and
they’re good works no matter how good
they are that are not accepted by God
and the last thing we want to do is to
stand before God and find out that our
long list of good
works were never accepted unto
God so what are those conditions that we
need to be aware of in order for the
works to be acceptable unto
God and so I want to begin in Ephesians
chapter 2 and
10 I want you to understand that good
works are vital and very very
important but without certain conditions
being in place they’re just not going to
be acceptable for God and and and I’ve
just seen so many Christians they got a
bunch of good works but no devotion
towards God bunch of good works no
relationship with God bunch of good
works no intimacy where God is
concerned Ephesians chapter 2 and vers
10 verse 10 this will be our text for
today he says for we are his workmanship
created in Christ Jesus unto good works
so we
created in Christ Jesus unto good works
so that’s important which God hath
before ordained that we should walk in
them good works look at this in the NLT
Ephesians chapter 2 and10 he says uh for
we are God’s Masterpiece he has created
us a new in Christ Jesus so for you to
say that good works are not a part of
the Christian Life is for you to deny
the very purpose for why you were
created one of those purposes is
good works so we can do good things that
he planned for us a long time ago so the
good works which
are uh an important part of God’s
purpose for every believer hear that now
it’s an important part of the purpose
for every believer they are acceptable
to God only under certain
conditions so what are those conditions
I want to talk to you about five of them
today condition number one love must be
the
motive love must be the motive in other
words your good works need to be born
out of
love in order for them to be accepted
unto God so
uh it was it was it was only after Peter
if you remember uh last week John 21:15
And1 17 it was only after Peter had
confessed his love for God that Jesus
commissioned Peter to feed his sheep and
to feed his lamb you remember he kept
coming to Peter in John chapter 21 he
said uh Peter do you love me and Peter
said yes Lord he said well feed my sheep
and he said Peter do you love me he’s
like yeah you know dude yeah I love you
he said well okay feed my sheep then he
asked the third time Peter do you love
me more than anybody he says Lord you
know I love you he said well feed my
lamb what was he saying he was saying to
Peter that if your works are going to be
accepted we got to make sure that
they’re born out of love now first John
4:19 this is important uh 1 John
4:19 um he says something about love we
you we spent a lot of time trying to
love God and you’re not going to be able
to love God until you first of all
understand verse 19 and verse 19 says we
love him why because he first loved us
you know what he’s saying there he’s
saying if you want to love God then
you’ve got to believe that God loves you
you got to believe in the love that God
has for you and a lot of times people
well I love God I love God don’t you
love God I love God no no the question
is do you believe the love that God has
for you do you believe that God loves
you because if you believe that God
loves you you’re going to believe that
God will heal you you’re going to
believe that God will deliver you you’re
going to believe that God will bless you
take care of you and have your back if
you believe in the love of God and he
says until you believe in the love of
God your love for God is going to be
short I love God why cuz he first loved
me I’m not I don’t want to love God with
a carnal human love I want to receive
the love that he has for me say this out
loud I receive the love that God has for
me I receive the love say this out loud
I believe in the love that God has for
me I believe in he says now that’s going
to determine the love you have for
him the Church of Ephesus
was uh warned that unless it returned to
its first
love last week we talked about this then
the candlesticks would be
removed what was he saying he says you
know what we’ve got to understand first
of all I receive God loves me therefore
I love him I love him because he first
loved me I I tried to love God without
examining whether I believe this
love I did it mostly out of guilt it’s
like you’re supposed to love God but I’m
having problems it’s like you’re
supposed to love God with all your heart
so mind I’m like I love my mama I see
her more than I do God what are you
talking about but what I didn’t
understand is I need to receive the love
he has for me and then he’ll show me how
to love
him so it appears that works that that
that works to be accepted to
Christ must spring forth from love for
God I’m doing works for Christ is it out
of love that I’m doing it or out of some
other type of motivation
that’s why Paul commends the Saints at U
he commends the Saints at uh what was
that place I think it was
thessalonica uh go to 1 Thessalonians
chap 1 and verse
three 1 Thessalonians chap 1 and verse
three he said something here that was
very very
interesting I’m going line by line so
when I get to
the controversial comments you’ll see it
1 Thessalonians 1:3 remember without
ceasing your work of Faith remembering
without ceasing your work of faith and
labor of love your labor of love and
patience of Hope in our Lord Jesus
Christ in the sight of our God and our
father and so he commends the Saints at
thessalonica for their labor of love I’m
commending you that you’re you’re
laboring in it’s it’s a labor of love
it’s a labor that’s born out of the love
that you have for God a labor that’s
motivated by love so whatever you do for
God is it motivated by the love that you
have for him all right now as we love
him because he first loved us that
that’s the truth as we love him because
he first loved us basically basically it
is the love of Christ as expressed in
his death death for Sinners that must be
the great motivation the force in all
true Christianity and and all activity
that we do all the Christian activity we
do it’s going to be based in the love
that I have for God as a result of him
dying for me the love that I have for
God as a result for uh the death that he
died for Sinners you understand Jesus
died for you while you were still a
sinner Jesus died for you while you were
shacking up stacking up trying to be
cool acting like a fool he died for you
there he didn’t die for you when you
reach Perfection he didn’t die for you
because you’ve been goody goody he died
for you he died for us because we was a
no good for nothing cheating yada yada y
y y That’s when he died for us and to
sit and to think man God died for me and
I just been acting like a fool he died
for me then now that love gets bigger I
mean once I realized what Jesus did for
me I was like Blown Away how could you
die for somebody like
me and then he did he died for me before
I was formed into a fetus he died for me
before before I was even born in this
world he had already set set his mind
I’m going to love you not based on how
you turn out not based on what you
decided to do or not to do I did it
before you did anything and I’m like
what a God I mean who wouldn’t serve him
all right so check these two scriptures
out I want to look at them in three
versions 2 Corin Corinthians 5:14 Paul
said something 2 Corinthians 5:14 I want
to look at it in the King James then the
NLT and then the NIV for a reason you’ll
see why 14 he says For the Love of
Christ constrain us now you got to be
careful when you’re reading the King
James because you know you you you could
easily say say me loving Christ
constrains us but that’s not what he’s
saying here he says the love of Christ
constrain us because we thus judge that
if one died for all then we all dead now
look at this in the NLT so it’s it’s
knowing that his death for Sinners I
mean that that really provokes my love
for him he said either way Christ’s love
controls us I like that so I’m being
moved by his his love I’m being moved
whatever I start doing for him whatever
good works I start doing for him it it’s
it’s it’s being motivated and controlled
out of his love since we believe that
Christ died for us all we also believe
that we all died to our old lives now
look at this in the NIV and I think this
really brings it home for Christ love
Christ’s love compels
us because we are
convinced that one died for all and
therefore I died it compels us so the
real question is what’s compelling you
to do the good work what’s the motor
behind you doing a good work are you
doing it so you can get an award are you
doing it so somebody could just lift you
up in in in High View are you doing
doing what you’re doing because um of
all of the worldly reasons and what you
can get out of it or are you compelled
to do it and you’re convinced to do it
because he died for me when I was
nothing look at this in Ephesians
chapter 5 and: 2 King James Ephesians 5
and:
2 this really causes us to examine why
we do what we do he said and walk in
love as Christ also ha loved us walk in
love all my love walk is going to be
based on me believing that he loved me
and he had given himself for for an
offering and a sacrifice to God for a
sweet sweet smelling savior so I love
God because I believe he loves me and I
can love God because of what he did for
me all right it’s not just an emotional
thing I love him because he first love
me and I love him because he died for me
and demonstrated that love first before
I even had an opportunity to walk in
love for him so if you doubt your love
you go back do you believe that he died
for you yes
do you believe the love that he has for
you yes and that really takes care of
the motivation that you have now love
must be the motive for all things done
in response to Christ it’s the motive
for everything that’s done in response
to his grace I am motivated by Christ’s
love and so all that God does in Grace
is because of his infinite love
everything that God has done God’s grace
all of his finished works that I am
redeemed
if I believe it that I am delivered that
I am blessed that I am all these things
that Grace has done for me that I don’t
deserve everything he did for me that I
don’t deserve is born and motivated out
of his love it is this unrestricted
operation of God’s love that comes
through Jesus on behalf of mankind
especially for those who depend on him
his love is unrestricted it’s
unrestrained your crazy can’t stop God
for loving you and I don’t care what
anybody says there’s nothing you can do
to restrain or restrict the love of God
so if anybody ever comes to tell you
well you know you did this and you did
that and so God Don’t Love You No More
they a line of Link in their breath
stink it is not
so God loves you with no restrictions he
does all that God does in Grace is
because of his infinite love and all is
unmar and all is given freely
so the response to this cannot be a
fulfillment of Duty you responding to
God’s love for you and doing some kind
of work fulfilling some kind of Duty to
try to get something that he’s decided
to freely give to you because no
condition accompanies the offer of God’s
free gift except faith God has given you
this free gift of Grace and it takes
Faith to lay a hold of it it it takes
you believing it believing is love
believing his finished Works believing
that he died for you that’s where it is
it’s waiting on you to believe it it’s
not waiting on you to get a feeling it’s
waiting on you to believe God loves me
and I know it I believe that he died for
me I believe that he loves me I believe
that I am what he says I am and so Faith
then is is is necessary to go ahead and
to take possession
of all of the free gifts and the love
and everything that God has given to you
is everybody still on the
bus it cannot be a return
payment I’m going to do a good work as a
return payment you know God did
something good for me so I’m going
return the payment because it it that
that that doesn’t work it cannot be that
because that would be the payment of
debt you you you you would be saying God
I’m in debt to you no you’re not you you
got to understand you’re not in debt to
God God that’s just what God does God’s
Not good to you because you’re good
God’s good to you because he is good you
you’re experiencing the very nature of
God he’s not charging you for nothing so
you can’t be in debt so you can’t see it
as I owe you God you know he do
something to you I I owe you he’s like
now you don’t owe me nothing it can’t be
seen as a payment of debt it cannot be a
gain it can it cannot be whatever you do
your good work Works cannot be to gain
the good will of God and that’s what a
lot of a lot of Christians do I’m going
to do this so I can gain the good will
of God I’m going to come to church and
maybe God might give me a job this week
you know whatever it is you decide to do
it’s a good work no this is not the
motivation you can’t be motivated to to
do something to gain the good will of
God because Grace is absolutely unmar
it’s it’s undeserved you you you you you
Christian people keep trying to do
something to deserve all that God wants
to do for us freely we’re trying to do
something to deserve his love deserve
his favor deserve his Blessing deserve
him taking care of us deserve him
healing us especially when you’re sick
oh what can I do for God to give me a
miracle what can I do and then you well
I’m going go I’m going fast for 40 days
and I’ve met two people well I they gone
now they died cuz they were trying to
fast like Jesus you didn’t need to do
that you didn’t do that cuz we’re still
trying to do something to earn it I
never forget back in the day we first
started this church man uh I was in
there praying it was on Saturdays and I
was on the floor and I was just I was
shuing the corn
man spit all on the floor just praying
and we had new carpet so the the fibers
just got all in my mouth and then I got
choked up and then God finally got a
word in cuz I I was I thought prayer was
me doing all the Talking prayer is not a
monologue it is a dialogue it’s a
relationship you talking to him and he
talking back to you and then uh after I
got choked up he asked me he said Son
what you doing I said I’m praying in
tongues so I can be anointed for
tomorrow he said I anointed you when I
called
you I said huh but still I just need to
pray so I can be anointed and you know
God ain’t going to be sit up there
arguing with you so Taff started cooking
some spaghetti in the in the in in in
the kitchen some french bread and I was
right there by the door and I that smell
came right up under the
door then I recall what God said that I
was already
anointed and I ented that prayer and
said in Jesus name amen and I I got up
and had me some uh French bread and
spaghetti amen we still keep trying to
earn something that he’s already given
us and
so if it were necessary to do anything
to assure a believer’s final salvation
we do that too I got to make sure I’m
going to heaven so what do you do you
come up with some other things some good
works you use good works to try to
assure you that you’re going to heaven
look at all the reasons why you’re using
good
works that which was so
done would be for personal gain if you
did something to try to get something
from God it would actually be for
personal gain and would not be motivated
by love you’re doing the good work for
personal gains ask yourself with the
good works you do am I doing it for
personal gain or am I doing it to be
motivated by God how many good works do
Christians do out a personal game well
on Thanksgiving I’m going to go feed the
poor out a personal gain well I’m going
I’m I’m going go do this good work and
and go go help them build that habitat
house all for personal gain all for
personal gain we have to examine why we
do the good works and you have to know
if you’re doing it for personal gain and
not out of the love of God he’s not
accepting it the fact that under grace
God gives all things freely
excludes every other motive but
love listen to this and I I’m I’m going
to go to the next point after this but 1
Corinthians chap 13: 1-3 let’s go to the
NLT 1 Corinthians 13 1-3 everything done
apart from love has no value in the
sight of
God everything done apart from love has
no value in the sight of God my God
write that down tattoo it you know
everything
everything done apart from love has no
value in the sight of God get it child
of God get it well I’m going to go to
church and get me some extra point from
the Lord no no no everything done apart
from love has no value no value in the
sight of God now this has got to be
doing something for Christan because you
know my I told T what I’m talk about
when I walked up she says well we didn’t
know that’s all we knew back then that’s
all we knew all we knew was to try to do
as many good things as we can and hoping
it would give us some kind of favor in
heaven but look what he says in verse
one he says if I could speak all the
languages of Earth and of angels but
didn’t love others I I would be a noisy
gong or clanging
symbol if I had uh the gift of Prophecy
and if I could understand all of God’s
secret plans and possessed all knowledge
and if I had such faith that I could
move mountains but didn’t
love I would be nothing
nothing if I gave everything I have to
the poor even sacrificed my body I could
boast about it but if I didn’t love I
would have gained
nothing you have to understand that
everything done all the good works apart
from love all good works all labor for
God apart from love has no value in the
sight of God you got you got to get it
child of God you got to get it because
that’s that’s the foundation for
religion every religion requires a ton

works and Christianity was never
