We are born into this world under the penalty of 'original sin'. Thus we are in sin and a subject of Satan’s Kingdom. If we do not accept God’s means of becoming perfect we die a subject of Satan’s Kingdom. But God created us unto good works. In order to do them we have to first stop trying to establish our own righteousness and submit ourselves to the righteousness of God. Once we are saved, then we can do good works, become a vessel unto honor, be a soldier, be an ambassador, be an evangelist, bring salvation to our kids or whatever ministry is laid on our heart.
