My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”  John 10:27-30

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.  Ephesians 2:8-10

1. Good works begin with God’s good work of salvation: Ephesians 1:3-6

2. Good works come through abiding in Christ Jesus: Philippians 1:9-11, John 15:5

3. Good works are to be natural outflows in life: 1 Timothy 6:18, Hebrews 10:24, 1 Peter 2:12
