God's Workmanship

1 Peter 2:21-23 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth:  Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously:

It isn’t easy to follow in the steps of Jesus. When someone spouts off at us we want to spout back. When we are mistreated or slandered we naturally get angry. Christ is kind, gentle and gracious to these kind of people. How can we be like Christ?

Ephesians 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

It's God's plan that we do good works. I like this song: He’s still working on me, to make me what I ought to be. And this song, Trust And Obey, gives great instructions for spiritual victory.

If not for the grace of God and surrendering to His will, we would never know the joy of walking  with Jesus---in His steps. "Lord, make me what You want me to be for your glory."
