This is a faithful saying, and these things I want you to affirm constantly, that those who have believed in God should be careful to maintain good works. These things are good and profitable to men. (Titus 3:8 NKJV)
Saints, be careful to maintain good works. By “good works”, what is meant are acts that meet the approval of God. The commandment of God is holy, just, and good. The commandments and laws of God are embodied in the doctrines of the Church. From them, our Christian Creed was established to guide us in our daily living. Part of the Creed states: “I am a Christian. I am an offering to God the Highest! A light of this world, I have an exemplary character, for the glory of my spiritual Mother – the Most Holy Church, in honor of my spiritual Father – the Most High God. Striving for perfection, I am guided by the zeal of the Lord to attain excellence. I have surrendered myself to the true King and now, I am resolved to do all good deeds. Merciful and helpful, I am a guide to my fellowmen. Sober-minded and kind-hearted, I am an advocate of peace.” We affirm our faith every time we recite the Creed from our hearts. Brethren, if we live by the Creed, we shall not only benefit materially and spiritually but also those whose lives are touched by us.
