Are works done before justification good works?
May 4, 2025 Day 124
The eighteenth question in our catechism is:
“Are works done before justification good works?”
The answer is:
“No. Works done before justification are not properly good works, nor are they pleasing to God, because they do not come from faith in Jesus Christ.”
cf. Isaiah 64:6; Luke 18:11-14 and Article 13.
