Ephesians 2:10 “For we are God’s masterpiece.”

There’s a certain thrill that most people feel when they get to view a masterpiece. It matters little whether it’s a book, painting, movie or a piece of music. What matters is the beauty bought forth by the outstanding artistry, skill and workmanship involved. The masterpiece stands above and beyond all others and can endure in our memories for a lifetime.

Today’s verse reminds us of a special masterpiece that has been skillfully crafted to become the best piece ever. It is a very special piece that has artistry, skill and workmanship. The creator of all things has uniquely formed it. That’s right we’re talking about you. YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE.

Many people don’t see themselves this way; rather they think they were thrown together from odds and ends in a rush to get them finished. This is a lie – God’s Word calls us His masterpiece and so we are His masterpiece. It doesn’t matter what our personality is, our shape, our height or our hair color; we’re all unique masterpieces and God can’t get us out of His mind.

This week let’s shake off all the lies that the devil has told us. We are masterpieces not misfits. We are outstanding, beautiful and carefully crafted for good works. God loves us with a passion. He believes in us and he is empowering us to accomplish every plan and purpose He’s got for us. Liberate yourself today by understanding & believing that YOU ARE A MASTERPIECE!

Ephesians 2:10 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them”

I admire well-made furniture. It takes a great amount of skill, expertise and dedication to produce a worthy piece. The handiwork of the craftsman shows the high level of workmanship needed to make it function exactly how it was designed.

Our verse says that we have been created in Christ Jesus to perform good works. Remember that we can’t make ourselves anymore than a piece of furniture can make a carpenter. God makes us and He makes us how He wants us. His workmanship, skill, expertise and dedication form us into a unique piece. He fabricates us in the exact way needed to carry out His good works.

Some believers complain about how they’re made. Often they discover what they dislike proves to be their greatest strength. This is because the master builder knew exactly what He was forming and why. He creates us to perform His good works and He wants us to walk in them.

This week let’s shake off any negative thoughts we have about how we are made. God desires us to walk in the good works that He’s prepared for us. Let’s remind ourselves that we are made by God and created in Christ Jesus to function in these good works. So let’s leave any bad works behind and stick with His good works. Then we’ll be able to function exactly how we were designed.
