The red light on your dashboard comes on, telling you that you are almost empty and you need to fill up. How much longer will you go? At some point, you are going to have to stop and take the necessary steps to fill it up.
There was a Christian lady in Joppa, who became sick and died (Acts 9:36-37). That was not an unusual occurrence in the early church (or in any age since then). But, regarding this wonderful lady named Dorcas, the Holy Spirit tells us that she was “full of good works and charitable deeds” (9:36).
When you die, what if the Holy Spirit came along and recorded one statement about your level of good works? Would He say, “This person was 1/2 full of good works”? Or, “1/4 full of good works”? Or, “1/8 full of good works”? Or, “This person’s red light for good works was on”? The very reason we are “created in Christ Jesus” is for “good works” (Eph. 2:10), so that others may be impacted by them and glorify God (Matt. 5:16). So, when it comes to good works, how full are you?
