Before, in the 86. Question, certain impulsive causes unto good works were specified and expressed, which pertain unto this place: namely, Our regeneration, having a necessary coherence with our Justification: Our gratefulness for our Redemption: Our glorifying and magnifying of God. The confirmation of our faith and election; and our good example unto others, whereby to win them unto Christ. These weighty causes may most amply be enlarged, if we reduce them to these three Classes or principal heads: to wit if we say that good works are to be done by us in respect, 1. Of God. 2. Of our selves. 3. Of our neighbour.
BEfore, in the 86. Question, certain impulsive causes unto good works were specified and expressed, which pertain unto this place: namely, Our regeneration, having a necessary coherence with our Justification: Our gratefulnesse for our Redemption: Our glorifying and magnifying of God. The confirmation of our faith and election; and our good example unto others, whereby to winne them unto Christ. These weighty causes may most amply be enlarged, if we reduce them to these three Classes or principall heads: to wit if we say that good works are to be done by us in respect, 1. Of God. 2. Of our selves. 3. Of our neighbour.
I. In respect of God they are to be done:1 1. Because of the commandment of God: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. God requireth the beginning of obedience in this life, and the perfection thereof in the life to come. Wherefore we are necessarily to give our selves to good works,2 that we may perform due obedience unto God, who requireth it of us. This is my commandment, that ye love one another. Being made free from sin, ye are made the servants of righteousness. This is the will of God, even your sanctification. §23
