Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Key Verse: Verse 10 -"For we are
his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.”
Key Words: we
are his workmanship
Everybody has in their
homes manufactured products. Appliances such as a toaster, refrigerator, stove,
microwave, or an electric can opener are commonly found in people’s homes and
each of those has a different workmanship. They are designed differently. They
have different parts that make them operate. Each one has its own unique reason
for being. Now, if that appliance operates outside of its reason for being
there, we have a problem. If you want to cook things in the refrigerator and
freeze things in the stove, you are going to have a difficult situation in the
home because that’s not what the workmanship is for. Workmanship is used for
whatever the creator designed it to do. The toaster does not tell the creator
what it’s going to do today. The stove does not tell the creator what it’s
going to do today. It is the creator that dictates to the appliance the reason
why the appliance exists. The appliance does whatever it’s been designed to do.
In the same way, we are God’s creation and He dictates to us why we exist and can tell us what we are designed to do. He gives us our purpose. If we operate outside of our reason for being, that’s when we experience problems. Walking in the purpose God designed for us is how we fulfill our unique reason for being.
What to do:
✞ Not fulfilling God’s purpose for
our life leaves us unfulfilled.
