You can do nothing for God and God already does everything for you - that is to say, you live and move and have your being in God because you are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God intends for you to do.

In reference to what?

Salvation? You cannot do for God but God does for you.

Is there something specific?

What has Jesus commanded us to do? That is the answer

What has God done for us, that's more important since commands are backed up by God's enabling, guiding, assisting, steering, etc... The Good Shepherd's sheep hear Him and follow but remember, they are the sheep, not because they follow.

We have sheep nearby down the road. It's funny watching them because they really are afraid of strangers but they get so caught up in their munching of the grass that they don't realize where they've gone astray. Good thing for fences! LOL

When their owner comes out, they know his voice, they know he feeds them and they trust in him. That doesn't make them sheep because they follow. They've always been the owner's sheep.
