Why should Christians rejoice in their works?

Christians are encouraged to rejoice in their works because these works stem from their transformed nature in Christ. As Ephesians 2:10 states, believers are created in Christ for good works that God prepared in advance. This perspective reframes work not as a means to earn acceptance, but as an expression of gratitude for the grace received. Rejoicing in good works reflects the joy of living out one’s faith, knowing that these are empowered by the Holy Spirit and rooted in a relationship with God.
