Chapter 16: Of Good Works
1. Good works are only those that God has commanded in His holy Word,a and not those that, without scriptural warrant, are devised by men out of blind zeal or upon any pretense of good intention.[1], b
aMicah 6:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 12:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 13:21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bMatthew 15:9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
; Isaiah 29:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Peter 1:18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 10:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 16:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Samuel 15:21–23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
2. These good works, done in obedience to God’s commandments, are the fruits and evidences of a true and lively faith.a By them believers show their thankfulness,b strengthen their assurance,c edify their brethren,d adorn the profession of the Gospel,e stop the mouths of the adversaries,f and glorify God.g Believers are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works.h Thus having their fruit to holiness, they may have the outcome, eternal life.i
aJames 2:18, 22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bPsalm 116:12–13
(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; c1 John 2:3, 5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Peter 1:5–10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; d2 Corinthians
9:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 5:16 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; eTitus 2:5, 9–12
(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Timothy 6:1 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; f1 Peter 2:15 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; g1 Peter 2:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Philippians 1:11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; John 15:8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; hEphesians 2:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; iRomans 6:22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
3. The ability of believers to do good works is not at all from themselves, but solely from the Spirit of Christ.a Besides the graces they have already received, there is required an actual influence by the same Holy Spirit—to work in them to will and to do of His good pleasure—so that they may be enabled to do good works.b Yet they are not to grow negligent in good works as though they were not bound to perform any duty unless upon a special motion of the Spirit; but rather they ought to be diligent in stirring up the grace of God that is in them.c
aJohn 15:4–6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ;[2] Ezekiel
36:26–27 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bPhilippians
2:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Philippians 4:13 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Corinthians 3:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cPhilippians
2:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 6:11–12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Peter 1:3, 5, 10–11 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Isaiah 64:7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Timothy 1:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Acts 26:6–7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Jude 20–21 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
4. Those who in their obedience attain to the greatest
height that is possible in this life are so far from being able to supererogate[3]
and to do more than God requires, that they actually fall short of much that
they are in duty bound to do.
Luke 17:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Nehemiah 13:22 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 9:2–3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Galatians 5:17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
5. We cannot, by our best works, merit pardon of sin or eternal life at the hand of God, because:
· There is a great disproportion[4] that is between our best works and the glory to come;
· There is infinite distance between us and God;
· God cannot profit by our best works;
· Nor can our best works satisfy for the debt of our former sins;a
· When we have done all we can, we have done only our duty, and are unprofitable[5] servants;b
· As they are good, they proceed from His Spirit;c but as they are done by us, they are defiled and mixed with so much weakness and imperfection that they cannot endure the severity of God’s judgment.d
aRomans 3:20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 4:2, 4, 6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Ephesians 2:8–9 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Titus 3:5–7 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 8:18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 16:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 22:2–3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Job 35:7–8 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bLuke 17:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cGalatians
5:22–23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; dIsaiah 64:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Galatians 5:17 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Romans 7:15, 18 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 143:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 130:3 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
6. Yet nevertheless, because the persons of believers are accepted through Christ, their good works are also accepted in Him.a This acceptance is not as though they were in this life completely blameless and above reproof in God’s sight;b but that He, looking upon them in His Son, is pleased to accept and reward that which is sincere, although accompanied with many weaknesses and imperfections.c
aEphesians 1:6 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 1 Peter 2:5 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Exodus 28:38 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Genesis 4:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) with
Hebrews 11:4 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; bJob 9:20 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Psalm 143:2 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; cHebrews 13:20–21 $vr$PESV_Hebrews 13$20-21.doc@01561@(ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; 2 Corinthians 8:12 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Hebrews 6:10 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB) ; Matthew 25:21, 23 (ESV KJ3 NASB WEB)
7. Works done by unregenerate men are sinful and cannot please God or make a man suitable to receive grace from God.e This is because they:
· Do not proceed from a heart purified by faithb
· Are not done in a right manner according to the Wordc
· Are not done for a right reason: the glory of God.d
This is true, even though, for the matter of them, they may be things that God commands, and of good use both to themselves and others.a And yet, their neglect of them is more sinful and displeasing to God.f

5For this very reason, make every effort to
supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, 6and
knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and
steadfastness with godliness, 7and godliness with brotherly affection,
and brotherly affection with love. 8For if these qualities are yours and are
increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9For whoever lacks these qualities is so
nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his
former sins. 10Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to
make your calling and election sure, for if you practice these qualities you
will never fall.
2 Peter 1:5-10 (KJ3) Back
5¶ But also in this very thing
having brought in all diligence, fully supply in your faith virtue, and with
virtue knowledge,
6 and with the knowledge
self-control, and with the self-control patience, and with the patience
godliness,
7 and with the godliness brotherly
love, and with brotherly love, love.
8 For these things being in you,
and abounding, they will place you so as not to be idle,
not unfruitful into the full knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 For the one in whom these things
are not present is blind, being shortsighted, receiving forgetfulness of the
cleansing of his sins in time past.
10 Therefore, brothers, rather be
diligent to make sure of your calling and election; for doing these things, you
will not stumble into sin, not ever!
2 Peter 1:5–10 (NASB95) Back
5Now for this very reason also, applying
all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral
excellence, knowledge, 6and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your
self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, 7and in
your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 8For if
these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless
nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9For he
who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his
purification from his former sins. 10Therefore, brethren, be all the more
diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you
practice these things, you will never stumble;
2 Peter 1:5-10 (WEB) Back
5 Yes, and for this very cause adding on your
part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral
excellence, knowledge;
6 and in knowledge, self-control; and in
self-control perseverance; and in perseverance godliness;
7 and in godliness brotherly affection; and in
brotherly affection, love.
8 For if these things are yours and abound,
they make you to be not idle or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
9 For he who lacks these things is blind,
seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins.
10 Therefore, brothers,*
be more diligent to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these
things, you will never stumble.
