The Proper Role of Good Works Under Grace
“This saying is faithful, and concerning these things I desire that you affirm confidently, so that those who have believed God may be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men; but shun foolish questionings, genealogies, strife, and disputes about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. Avoid a factious man after a first and second warning, knowing that such a one is perverted and sins, being self-condemned. When I send Artemas to you, or Tychicus, be diligent to come to me to Nicopolis, for I have determined to winter there. Send Zenas, the lawyer, and Apollos on their journey speedily, that nothing may be lacking for them. Let our people also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they may not be unfruitful. All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in faith. Grace be with you all. Amen.” (Titus 3:8-15 WEB)
When we believe and consciously keep the great salvation and glorification that we’ve received fresh in our hearts and minds, we will be empowered to live out who we are in the spirit and bring our sinful flesh to submission.
That’s how we can live holy lives and maintain good works.
Proclaiming the Gospel and doing good works through believing the Gospel are good and profitable to men—they result in salvation, alleviation of man’s sufferings, and heaping up of eternal rewards for those who do good.
It is vain and unprofitable to argue about the Law because we are not under the Law in any way.
Under Grace we live holy not by trying to keep the Law, but by believing the Gospel, allowing ourselves to be led and transformed by the Holy Spirit.
It’s all about flowing with the Holy Spirit who is writing on the tablets of our hearts—not about obeying the laws on two cold tablets of stone.
The type of “factious man” that Paul was referring to is a Judaizer—a false teacher who contradicts the Gospel, telling believers that they have to keep the Law.
Such people kept teaching others to abstain from this and that because they were so sin-conscious.
Their teachings proved that they were self-condemned—their consciences told them that they were still sinful and not right with God.
Instead of wasting time on vain, unprofitable arguments and debates, we should spend that time doing good works as led by the Holy Spirit to be fruitful—practically living out what we believe, contributing to society and being living testimonies of our Lord Jesus.
Serving Jesus is not just about preaching or hearing sermons on Sunday—it’s about making Him real in our daily lives, relying on His love and showing love to others whenever we can.
