Created...For Good Works

Ephes. 2:8-10 "For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

One of the reasons why God has saved us, is that we might be fruitful Christians. He has not saved us merely that we might be free from judgment and go to heaven when we die. But that the character of Jesus Christ might be reproduced in us while here on earth.

We are to live in the flesh, not of the flesh. We are to do good works that Christ might be glorified, and that many might be brought to faith in Him. We see this stated in a wonderful way in Eph 2:8-10. These verses say three things, they say that: ▪ God saved us by grace. ▪ He has a plan for our lives. ▪ There are good works in that plan.

So here is the question, “Are you serving or sitting?”

There are so many who think Jesus is supposed to serve them! No! We are supposed to serve Him, not for our glory, but for His.

Don’t be content to be on the team and sit on the bench, get into the game!
Don’t just go to church, be the church, get involved in ministry, and let the Lord use you to bring glory to Him.
