Summary
So I'm going to pull back and get a scriptural view about this topic of why some works are good, good works, and some works are bad, good, good works. Let's start in Isaiah chapter 64, a good way to find Isaiah, is to go to the book of Psalms right in the middle, start working your way to the right, you're going to cross over Proverbs, please, yes, these, so on of Solomon, then you'll hit Isaiah. Let's go to Hebrews, the 11th chapter, a good way to find Hebrews, it's just go to book of Revelation, last book, slowly start working your way backwards, you're going to cross the John, you're going to cross the Peters, you'll hit James as you're going left, and then you're going to hit Hebrews. Let's go to John, first John chapter three, verse nine, first John chapter three, verse nine. John the first chapter, in the beginning was the Word, and notice that's capitalized because it's just another word for Jesus, the Messiah, the Christ. What you open your Bibles, please, with me to the 10th chapter of the gospel of John, if you're using a few addition of Holy Scripture, you're going to find that New Testament page 90 for our study in God's Word today, the 10th chapter of the gospel of John.
