The Principle of Purpose

I have always loved Ephesians 2:10, the verse that tells us that God created good works for us to do beforehand. It was nice to go deeper into this verse on page 25 of the study. It has become even more beautiful to me now. I looked up the David Gudzik commentary on blueletterbible.com, this is what he (Gudzik) said:

d. For we are His workmanship: God saves us not merely to save us from the wrath we rightly deserve, but also to make something beautiful of us. We are His workmanship, which translates the ancient Greek word poiema. The idea is that we are His beautiful poem. The Jerusalem Bible translates workmanship as “work of art.”

Isn't that beautiful. Why wouldn't I want to let God be the owner of my life, when He wants to make of my life a poem!

We are God's work of art, created in Christ Jesus to live the good life as from the beginning He had meant us to live it.
