For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus TO DO GOOD WORKS, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)
It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God’s people FOR WORKS OF SERVICE, so that the body of Christ may be built up.... (Ephesians 4:11, 12)
So, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might BEAR FRUIT TO GOD. (Romans 7:4)
I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another. (Romans 15:14)
And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please Him in every way: BEARING FRUIT in every good work....(Colo. 1:10)
Each one should use whatever gift he has received to SERVE others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. (1 Peter 4:10)
