We are the new creation in Christ Jesus, made for good deeds the Lord has determined for us
Good day dear friends! Thanks God for giving us this wonderful day! Thanks for another opportunity to get filled with His living word! We are the new creation in Christ Jesus, made for good deeds the Lord has determined for us.
«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works …» (Ephesians 2:10).
God has created you with a purpose. We are created and made for ministry on this Earth. Life without purpose is similar to a movement without a direction. Once we clarify who we are in God and what He has done for us – we immediately realise why we are here in this world. So we are made for good works. The word “good” originated from the Hellenic word «aghatos», that means the following:- good, beneficial;
- useful, blessed;
- pleasant, merry, happy;
- superior, outstanding;
- noble.
«For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works…» (Ephesians 2:10).
Make notice, we are not speaking about charity here. It´s a matter of common knowledge there are many people in this world doing good works, at the same time they are not saved because they have not accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour yet. This verse of Scripture, however, tells us about different kind of good works, those made in God or Christ Jesus. Here we read about our purpose in Christ. In case you are not “made in Christ” by your faith yet, your good works will not made you righteous before God – whatever your good deeds are. This is exactly what Paul tells us about before he explains our purpose of doing good works.Let´s talk about it tomorrow!Be abundantly blessed in God!Rufus Adjiboije, pastorSupport us so we can do more
