An action or work, whether good or evil, by which people will be judged and for which believers are called to excellence.
☩Judgment by Deeds
Scripture teaches that God will render to every person according to their deeds. 'The dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.' Every idle word will be accounted for. Both the righteous and wicked will receive according to what they have done.
