Are God good to us even we are not obedient when we pray we must go to him looking to give something rather than get something . God is a good father meaning he loves us way more than we could ever know , but we need to remember that us as beileivers cant just stay in a bed all day and ask God to do the work , we have to put are effort in aswell . Paul says we need to pick up are own cross , we have to work and learn and attack the day and learn about Gods word . A very important part of this is looking into you self and seeing where you may be wrong or weak . We have to work out are own salvation through fear and trembling . God says that not everyone who says Lord , Lord will inter my kingdom only those who have done the will of my father will . So what we need to do is be vigilent and we to be aware of are enemy but most of all we need to study Gods word get deep into his word teach your self how to be obedient through christ , you will never see a bag of money in your casket so don't prize your riches here because when you meet God that's what manders. But it's up to you , do you want to be obedient or lazy . Just because you said you accepted Jesus doesn't mean you are truly saved because if you were truly saved you would made some dramatic changes in your life you wouldn't be yourself, you would be Gods child and how we do the will of the father is by loving and humbling yourself to God and what is very important is going to Gods word then you will the will of our God

Works are the fruit of salvation, not the root of it
18/365: Faith Requires Effort
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty. ~ Proverbs 14:23
Men are wired to work. We know how to earn wages to pay for food and shelter. We know that talking about our job doesn't get the job done. We have to do the work.
Faith requires us to do more than talk. If we want results, we need to get our hands dirty. To be rich in faith is to see God at work through our hands and feet.
We work not to gain faith, but our work is inspired by our faith. How does your faith inspire you to work harder to represent Christ?
