The Workmanship Of God

Napoleon, the French military genius, was aboard ship in the Mediterranean one clear, starry night. While walking on deck he passed a small group of officers who were mocking the idea of a Supreme Being. “God of creation: what a joke.”

He stopped, stared at them, then, sweeping his hands towards the stars in the sky, he  said, “Gentlemen, you must get rid of those first.”

To discredit the God of  creation you discredit the God of salvation and His power to change lives, then you must rid the world of those He has changed.

You must silence every testimony of grace --  every shout from a redeemed child of God.

Ephesians 2:8-10  For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

With loving care and infinite skill, the Lord shapes believers by His grace and writes His love in our lives. We are His workmanship.
