All that believers in Christ do, speak and think in faith according to God’s Ten Commandments to the glory of God and the benefit of their neighbor, are good works. These include, among other things: performing their life’s work in faith, or serving faithfully in their calling, living a Christian life in faith as well as a Christian’s spiritual priesthood. These are God pleasing good works because of faith, for faith receives cleansing and forgiveness in Christ for all the evil with which our old Adam stains our good works.
