Ephesians 2:10
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do
For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do
As a nonbeliever, you had nothing to motivate you to live righteously. You may have searched for purpose and meaning in life but found nothing satisfying. As a believer, however, you are "God's workmanship,' which means that his spirit is working in your life to make you more like Christ and to give you a purpose for living.
Psalm 139:16 - Your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be
Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future
The next time you see a neighbor in trouble, hear about a friend struggling with a problem, notice a coworker in distress, or see a stranger who genuinely needs a helping hand, take hold of this opportunity God has placed in your path. Mother Teresa once said that the simplest action done with love is considered holy in God's eyes.. Therefore, grasp any chance that sets before your eyes, and not doing so because of having the thought of ''storing up good deeds'' but rather doing so out of love and sincerity, only then will God see as pure and holy..
While we look forward to the glories of heaven, one thing far outweighs them all: the fact that we will be able to spend eternity with Jesus. Dwight L. Moody once wrote, "It is not the jeweled walls and the pearly gates that are going to make heaven attractive. It is being with God." May that truth inspire you as you live out your life on this earth.
