I don't understand what doing works is

I believe'works'could be something as simple as smiling at someone or something as grand as teaching people the true word of God, and everything in between that honors Him. IMHO

It say you do works for the lord

Hopefully these are helpful to you in the context of "works for the LORD"

James 2:14-26, Matthew 25:31-46, Matthew 5:14-16, Matthew 16:27,

Jesus's examples of miraculous "works" & compassion Matthew 11, Matthew 13,

Not:

Exodus 23:24, Matthew 7:20-23, Matthew 23,

Thank you, god bless you

Amen. Good verses on the subject.

Exodus 31:12-17, Isaiah 58, Exodus 20:8-11, Matthew 12:1-13,

Hopefully these scriptures are helpful in your question.

Thank you i will look these scriptures up

Hi Charlotte, I am not sure what you are meaning by your question. Are you relating it to Genesis? Or is it about a topic about "works"? Please rephrase your question in a different way so we can know how to respond to you. God bless you.

It just says you have to do god's work

Thanks for rewording your question. The works we do for God are not what we do in hopes of gaining salvation. Salvation is all of grace and God working in us. The works we do for God are our obedience to Him out of love for Him and worship of Him. This obedience is all the good we do in our lives for others and within ourselves to walk according to the Spirit of God. These works do not earn us anything before God, they are our offerings to Him that arise from our gratitude for all e has done and continues to do in and for us. These works can be summed up in the phrase "a life lived for God and His glory."
