The Works, the Will, the Command, the Overcomer, the Righteous, the Obedience

  • Pray for godly wisdom and do not doubt. You will receive it in due time. – James 1:5-7
  • You must “exercise” yourself in these things constantly if you want to grow. – 1 Timothy 4:7-8

What are the “works”, the “will”, the “overcomer”, the “command”, the “obedience” and the “righteous” of God? Let’s find out:

The Works
John 6:28-29 — Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?” Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

The Will
John 6:40 — For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

The Command
1 John 3:23 — And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us.

The Overcomer
1 John 5:5 — Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

The Righteous
Romans 1:17 — For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.”

The Obedience
Romans 16:26 — but now made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, for obedience to the faith
