We Are Gods Handiwork

We are God's masterpiece, made in Christ Jesus in order that we may be able to perform the good acts and good works, which God prepared for us to do before we were even born.
These actions and works cannot be performed by the old person we were before salvation. These actions and works can only be carried out through our new life in Christ, which is governed and guided by the Holy Spirit working in and through us.
How wonderful that we truly are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do."

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, praise Your wonderful name that we are Your handiwork. Thank You that we were not saved by good works, but by grace through faith in Jesus. But thank You that we were saved unto good works, and so we pray our lives will be lived to serve You wholeheartedly in the works You have prepared for us to do, to Your praise and glory. In Jesus' name, AMEN.
