You misunderstand what good works are. It is not works for physical gain but works for spiritual gain.
An atheist is dead in sin he cannot do good works because there is no life in Him. Without life one cannot do good works.
"No one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and spirit."
God is not mocked .... everyone reaps what they sow
Rom 2:12 For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as sinned within Law will be judged through Law.
Rom 2:13 For not the hearers of the Law are just with God, but the doers of the Law shall be justified.
Rom 2:14 For when nations not having Law do by nature the things of the Law, they not having Law are a law to themselves,
Rom 2:15 who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience witnessing with them, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing,
Rom 2:16 in a day when God judges the hidden things of men, according to my gospel, through Jesus Christ.

Yes everyone reaps what they sow but if you sow the love of man and get the evil of man one must think if they sowed the wrong love.
Sow the love of God and you reap the love of God.
It is so sad when I see others quoting Paul and not the son of man and the God of the living.
Hi again Podpearse,
I was happy to find many things I had underlined in 1 Thessalonians 5 and
1 Peter 5!
But I did not find anything even close to answer my ques of where did Jesus himself
say the words 'filthy rags' or where God commanded us to work as you presented.
It said respect those that labor and esteem them...nice, but that was all.
Btw, if not too personal...what country do you originally come from...or what is your
first language...you don't have to answer, of course, makes no difference, just curious. Thanks.
Could anyone else point to those 2 questions I had that PodPearse said in the op? Thanks.
I have never seen them. I find 'command' is a pretty strong word.
Maybe I missed it...but, no one else found these statements odd.

repent? know what repenting means? turn to God's ways, all those good deeds in our Bible we must abide to ensure our thought and action are God's approval. Stop being the sinner, which is our work.
