Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them
WORD WEALTH SPIRIT FILLED LIFE BIBLE
Workmanship, poiema (poy-ay-nah) From the verb poieo, “to make.” (Compare “poem” and “poetry,”) The word signifies that which is manufactured, a product, a design produced by an artisan. Polema emphasizes God as the Master Designer, the universe as His creation, and the redeemed believer as His new creation. Before conversion, our lives had no rhyme or reason. Conversion bought us balance, symmetry, and order. We are God’s poem, His work of art.
Created….that we should walk. God’s new creation work in each believer is that He renovates the nature of His redeemed children to make “good works” a living possibility.
God created us for good works, not because of good works. We were not saved by our good works; rather, He saved us for good works.
Good works are important in the life of the believer—they are what we are designed to do.
The love of God is extended to you everyday. The Lord’s grace is equal to anything you might face today. Walk in faith and be blessed. You are highly favored in God’s eyes. Afterall, He sent his son to die for you even while you were yet a sinner. His love knows no limits and His blood cleanses from all sin. With God on your side what can stand against you?
