YOU ARE GOD’S HANDIWORK
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009Not because of works (not the
fulfillment of the Law’s demands),
lest any man should boast.
(It is not the result of what anyone
can possibly do, so no one can
pride himself in it or take glory
to himself.)
For we are God’s (own) handiwork
(His workmanship), recreated in
Christ Jesus, (born anew) that we
may do those good works which
God predestined (planned beforehand)
for us (taking paths which He prepared
ahead of time), that we should walk in
them (living the good life which He
prearranged and made ready for us
to live.
(Ephesians 2.9 and 10).
POINTS FOR PRAISE AND
THANKSGIVING
1) Our salvation was not based
on any merit. It was by free
grace (unmerited favor).
2) Our salvation is God’s gift.
3) Our salvation is not due
to our diligent fulfillment of
the Law’s requirements.
4) No one can take pride or
boast in their performance.
5) On the other hand we are
the product of God’s performance.
You are God’s handiwork
(His workmanship). He recreated us
in Christ Jesus to do the good works
that He has planned out for us to do.
6) His destiny for you is to walk in those
good works He has prepared for you and
live out His marvelous way of life.
HALLELUJAH!
