How much worth contain the works we are doing?

It all matters on why we do "works" -
is it to gain salvation or to bring fruit because we are saved?
is it to gain the kingdom or to spread the kingdom of God?
is it because we trust in our works or a continuous "yes" to the One who loved us first expressed in our action?

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. (Proverbs 21:2)

Sara Fatima Al-Mutairi 1982 to 2008  Originally shared by Sergio Azar - 29 comments Shortly before her death she penned the following words in a poem in response to a militant Islamic poem written against Christians. May the Lord Jesus guide you, O Muslims And enlighten your hearts that you might love others The forum does not revile the Master of the prophets It is for the display of truth, and for you it was revealed This is the truth that you do not know What we say are the words of the Master of the prophets We do not worship the cross, and we are not possessed We worship the Lord Jesus, the Light of the worlds We left Mohammed, and we do not follow in his path We followed Jesus Christ, the Clear Truth Truly, we love our homeland, and we are not traitors We take pride that we are Saudi citizens How could we betray our homeland, our dear people?

Any medication developed by the use of aborted babies is in my eyes similar to cannibalism. I base my belief of unborn babies being humans from conception on these Bible verses: ·          God cares for the unborn, see Exodus 21:22-25 “If men strife, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief [harm] follow [in my understanding: if the baby lives]: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief [harm] follow [in my understanding: if the baby dies or him or his mother is injured], then thou shalt give life for life.

Luke 17:5-6 5  The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!” 6  He replied, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted and planted in the sea,’ and it will obey you."  https://www.charismamag.com/spirit/spiritual-growth/25415-mulberry-the-casket-tree The mulberry tree is a biblical symbol of a broken heart:   if a leaf be broken a white tearlike sap flows; whence the name comes, namely, from baaqah, to weep.   Passing through the Valley of Weeping (Baca), they make it a place of springs; The early rain also covers it with blessings. -Psalm 84:6 Though in a valley of weeping (where the only waters are those of tears), such as David passed through in his flight from Absalom (2 Samuel 15:30), saints make it a well of ever flowing comfort and salvation (John 4:14; Isaiah 12:3). http://strangesounds.org/2018/02/water-is-gushing-out-of-tree-in-montenegro-video.html
