	My Documents: The Westminster Confession of Faith
		The effects and uses of good works in the Christian life are manifold, and are such as -- (1.) They express the gratitude of the believer, and manifest the grace of God in him, and so adorn the profession of the gospel.
		Good works, according to the Scriptures, are the fruits of sanctification, having their root in regeneration: " For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." Eph.
		Good works edify others, both as confirmatory evidence of the truth of Christianity and the power of divine grace, and by the force of example inducing men to practice the same.

	Works, Good - Easton's Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org
		Good works have the glory of God as their object; and (3) they have the revealed will of God as their only rule (Deuteronomy 12:32; Revelation 22:18,19).
		Good works are an expression of gratitude in the believer's heart (John 14:15,23; Galatians 5:6).

	Theologia :: Soteriology :: Are Good Works Necessary to Salvation?
		To say that good works are necessary in them that are to be justified, is to speak ambiguously, because it may be so understood as if they were required before justification, and so become a cause of our justification.
		For good works are necessary to salvation, or, to speak more properly, in them that are to be saved (for it is better thus to speak for the sake of avoiding ambiguity,) as a part of salvation itself; or, as an antecedent of salvation, but not as a cause of merit of salvation.
		[Good works] are necessary to the attainment of salvation, not in any sense as a prerequisite to justification, nor in any stage of the believer's progress meriting the divine favor, but as essential elements of that salvation, the consubstantial fruits and means of sanctification and glorification.

	Theses on Good Works (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Whoever does not perform such good works is a faithless man, blindly tapping around in search of faith and good works without knowing what either faith or good works are.
		Matthew 5-7 (the Sermon on the Mount is a sermon on good works which proceed from the Ten Commandments); Matthew 23:23-24; Romans 13:8-10; Colossians 3:23- 24; Matthew 15:1-9.
		God rejects the good works of the non-Christian as wicked; even the works of the Christian are tainted with sin, but they are accepted for Christ's sake, as we ourselves are.

	The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod - Of Good Works
		Before God only those works are good which are done for the glory of God and the good of man, according to the rule of divine Law.
		Such works, however, no man performs unless he first believes that God has forgiven him his sins and has given him eternal life by grace, for Christ's sake, without any works of his own, John 15:4, 5.
		We reject as a great folly the assertion, frequently made in our day, that works must be placed in the fore, and "faith in dogmas" -- meaning the Gospel of Christ crucified for the sins of the world -- must be relegated to the rear.

		Work is not good, unless a man does it with a view to God's glory, and he has been brought into subjection to God's divine will, so that in everything he has an eye to the Most High, and works in order to promote his glory and honor in the world.
		We cannot expect to find good works coming from nature; truly it is vain and idle to think that good works can arise from the natural man. "Where, then," you ask, "do they come from?" We answer, good works come from a real conversion, brought about by the Spirit of God.
		Good works are the gifts of God, his choice pearls, which he sendeth down with his grace.

	Martin Luther's Doctrine Concerning Good Works: Have I Misrepresented It? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Works are not (strictly speaking) necessary in the former category in Lutheran thought, but they ought to inevitably flow from the latter (as also in Reformed theology and thinking).
		Works can follow only by God's grace, and do not cause salvation, but they must be present, because (per James), "faith apart from works is dead" (James 2:26).
		Therefore faith and good works should be so closely joined together that the essence of the entire Christian life consists in both.

	The 1689 Confession - Chapter 16
		Such works, as men have invented out of blind zeal or upon the mere pretense of good intentions, are not good, for they lack the sanction of Holy Scripture.
		Works that are truly good, and which are done in obedience to God's commandments, are the fruits and evidences of a true and living faith.
		We cannot, even by our best works, merit either the pardon of sin or the granting of eternal life at the hand of God, for those works are out of all proportion to the glory to come.

		A good deed has God as its debtor, just as has also the evil deed, since the judge is the rewarder of every matter." Although all service to God is meritorious, he has decreed that certain good works give one merit when freely done.
		The merit of human good works in the scheme of salvation ordained by God was associated with and dependent on the merit of the passion of Christ so that there was seen to be a congruence of the two.

		Turretin, as we have seen, is willing to call good works "the means and way for possessing salvation," and "necessary to the obtainment of it," but these statements are in the context of sanctification and glorification.
		When you say that works are not a required condition for standing at the final day, you contradict the scriptures, which everywhere describe the final judgment as a judgment according to works.
		Works are a necessary condition, though not an efficient or sufficient cause, of our final acquittal.

	Didaskalos Ministries Martin Luther's Treatise on Good Works
		Now, since Luther had opposed the doctrine of justification by love and its good works, he was in danger of being misunderstood by strangers, as though he held the bare knowledge and assent to be sufficient for justification, and such preaching would indeed have led to frivolity and disorderly conduct.
		It was not Luther's intention, however, to speak only on the essence of good works and their fundamental relation to faith; he would show, too, how the "best work," faith, must prove itself in every way a living faith, according to the other commandments.
		In these works faith is still slight and weak; let us ask further, whether they believe that they are well pleasing to God when they suffer in body, property, honor, friends, or whatever they have, and believe that God of His mercy appoints their sufferings and difficulties for them, whether they be small or great.

	Blue Letter Bible - Commentaries
		The faith which does not produce good works is not saving faith: it is not the faith of God's elect: it is not faith at all in the Scriptural sense.
		Salvation is not of works; but, at the same time, we, who are the subjects of divine grace, are "created in Christ Jesus unto good works." This is plain to the enlightened believer; but babes in grace have weak eyes, and cannot at once perceive.
		We who are saved walk in holiness; for we are "created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." It is a decree of the sovereign Lord that his chosen should be led to walk in holiness.
