“For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
The handiwork of God is for one purpose; to prepare you to do good works.
The handiwork is accomplished by almighty God and started before you were born. It is a lifelong process of molding you into the character of God.
God desires for you to bring glory to His name but this cannot happen until self gets out of the way and you come to personally know the Living Christ. You will find out His thoughts and ways are are miles apart from yours. This is because God has no ego and you are a self driven person.
You have to get rid of the idea you can do something for God. This is the stumbling block for most believers. God doesn’t want your efforts; He wants to work through you.
The great miracles of God are done by those who understand it is not by might nor by power but by the Spirit of God. You literally stand still and see the salvation of the Lord at work.
Walking with God is living by faith and reaching out to Jesus for your every need. It is a lifestyle of dependence solely upon God.
Jesus wants your obedience to His voice without questioning His motives. And, many times the instructions of God will make no sense to you.
The sanctification of God is not designed for you to live in a sanctimonious bubble. It is to make you a viable witness for Christ reaching out to the dregs of society.
The one who believes in Jesus will be a fountain of Living Water springing up to everlasting life.
The people in your life will know you have been on the transfigured mountain with the Living Jesus. They will be amazed to see how you live on the earth but you are not of the earth!
You belong to God! I
