The light bulb was created to make light. The refrigerator was created to keep things cold. The Christian was created to do good works. In contrast there was no glass bulb that just showed up and created light then somebody dubbed it a light bulb. There was no box that appeared that was cold inside and then it was aptly called a refrigerator. That just does not make sense these things were created to do something. So a person cannot do good things or good works and then be declared a Christian. It’s no different than the light bulb or the refrigerator. The Christian was created to do good things, good things that our creator planned for us long ago. A person does not do good works to become a Christian they do good works because that’s what they were made to do. You know a light bulb when it lights up. You know a refrigerator when things inside are cold. You know a Christian because of their good works. If a person were to open you up and look inside what would they see? Because the world stands there with the door open and looks inside for something good just like a refrigerator. Be the light that illuminates Christ when they look inside you.
