The Works!
Certain fast food restaurants advertise 'The Works' as an addition to the basic meal.
'The Works' would include the side dishes, the fillings in burgers and all kinds of sauces!
The basic meal would be boring without 'The Works'.
'The Works' make the meal exciting and enjoyable and wholesome!
It is so also with our Christian life.
When we are born again, the LORD JESUS enters our life
and dwells in us in the form of the HOLY SPIRIT.
If we do not allow the HOLY SPIRIT to work in us and through us by obeying Him,
we would be ineffective and our Christian life would be boring like that plain burger!
GOD desires that His power works through His children.
"Most assuredly, I say to you,
he who believes in Me, The Works that I do he will do also;
and Greater Works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. - John 14:12
For by grace you have been saved through faith,
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,
not of works, lest anyone should boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for Good Works,
which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. - Ephesians 2:8-10
for it is God Who Works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. - Philippians 2:13
If your Christian life is like a boring plain meal,
get into 'The Works' GOD has prepared for you.
