God Created Me For His Good Works

Greetings from Christ In The Park!  This was the handout for discussion this morning.  We had a good question and input time, along with excellent fellowship.  Plus, one of the guys and I had a discussion about how he could earn some money…he is going to call me this week, and we will do some research on the idea, grab a bite for lunch, and have some fellowship mid-week!  Amen!

Enjoy what all rallied around in God’s Word this morning…

God Created Me For His Good Works

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 New Man (new “me”) is a creation of God by the Spiritual Birth, not our physical birth.  We ARE His workmanship, His creation, His “making.”  And as a Christian (New Man) I am created for God to do “good works” (spiritual works) through my earthsuit.  God has ordained (prepared beforehand) us to live (walk) in those good spiritual works FOR HIS GLORY.

Psalm 100:3, “Know ye that the LORD He is God: it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.”

Ephesians 4:24, “And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.”

Titus 2:13-14, “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.”

The Bible is clear that Christians are a New Man, a Spiritual Man.  Look at all the wonderful things God’s Word (the Bible, the Holy Scriptures) has to tell us about His creation…us.

·         we are the sheep of His pasture

·         we are created in righteousness and true holiness

·         He is our Savior.  He gave Himself for us that He might redeem us from all iniquity

·         He has purified us unto Himself a peculiar people

·         He has made us zealous of good works (spiritual works)

WOW!  How wonderfully made we are IN CHRIST!  Hallelujah!
