What does the Bible say about doing good works?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible emphasizes the importance of good works as a reflection of a saved person's faith, as seen in Titus 3:8.

Scripture clearly teaches that good works are a natural response of a saved individual. In Titus 3:8, we find the exhortation that those who have believed in God should be careful to devote themselves to good works. The call to act is intertwined with the Christian identity; it is not about earning salvation but living out the reality of salvation we have received. Jesus Himself exemplified this, as Acts 10:38 declares that He went about doing good. Thus, good works are vital for the believer's growth in holiness and for glorifying God, as highlighted in John 15:8, where it states that the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit.
