The Workmanship Of God

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.

The redeemed saints of God are His masterpieces. We are saved because He took the shapeless, dead clay of our lives in His loving, powerful hands and  molded us into something new for His glory.  With loving care and infinite skill, God shaped us by His grace and wrote His love into our lives. We are His workmanship.

When you stop to think about the raw materials God has to work with when He saves sinners and changes lives, it all becomes far more incredible. The redeemed are God’s letters of love to a lost world. The Apostle Paul said it this way:

2 Corinthians 3:2-3 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart.
