"We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers, remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of our God and Father" - 1 Thes 1:2-3
"They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work." - Titus 1:16
I will do the work of faith and labor of love, and you can just lounge around and feel good. Have fun with that.
and what is the will of God? that we believe in the name of the Son of God. People can say Lord Lord or Master Master- but serving God and doing good works isn't enough- we must repent from dead works and believe only on the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved. After that, we can begin to walk in faith and to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
A man had two sons, and to the first he said, Go, work today in my vineyard. He said, I will not, but afterward he went. Then he came to the second son. And he answered and said, I will go, sir, but he did not go. Which of the two did the will of his father? They said, The first. - Matthew 21:28-32
Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." - Matthew 7:21
