Faith Works

March 24, 2026 — Craig T. Owens

I pray that your partnership with us in the faith may be effective in deepening your understanding…. (Philemon 6 NIV)

Faith works! As Dr. Henry Halley noted, “Working faith is a sharing faith.”

Faithful working deepens our understanding of all the good things Jesus has given us. Those good things should then fuel us to share the good things—and the Source of all good things—with others.

I pray that the faith you share with us may deepen your understanding of every blessing that belongs to you in Christ. (Philemon 6 NET)

A faith that merely believes without acting would be an ineffective faith. A faith that works becomes a lifestyle testimony that points others to Jesus.

And I keep praying that this faith we hold in common keeps showing up in the good things we do, and that people recognize Christ in all of it. (Philemon 6 MSG)

It is a double blessing to do good things for others:

I get to see more of Christ’s blessings.
Others get to see more of Christ Jesus.

What Do The Good Works Of Jesus Mean?

October 25, 2018 — Craig T. Owens

“Jesus was well-known for His many good works, which were primarily works of restoration. The good works of Jesus restored a measure of the good order God intended when He created the world and all things, and point forward to a day of complete renewal, of heaven and earth and all things. People, who are the image-bearers of God, were not meant to be deaf or blind, bent or beset by demons, riven with diseases, or at one another’s throats. Indeed, they were not even meant to die. …

“Good works were an essential component of Jesus’ plan for restoring the goodness of creation, and He promised His followers that they would do many more good works than He had done, as they seek His Kingdom and live in the power of His Spirit (John 14:12). …

“And Jesus told His followers to tune up a similar harmony of words and works in their own lives, to follow Him as His witnesses, living and speaking the truth in love. For it is in such harmony, consistently sung into the world by every follower of Christ, that the Kingdom of God and His goodness advances on earth as it is in heaven.” —T.M. Moore
