“That the Son of God did the Crucifixion tells us in no uncertain terms that there is nothing He won’t do for us. Nothing. He did the Crucifixion for sinners. Think what He is willing to do for saints!”
We are equipped with the power to do good or to do evil to our neighbor. When we know that God has our back, that is, when in God we trust, we can afford to do good to our neighbors. When we doubt, how difficult it is. Good works are the manifestation of our trust in God. The absence of good works reveals an absence of faith. The tree is known by its fruit. The fruit of good works makes known the tree of trust in God.
