His Workmanship

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10)

If you buy a well-made product, you expect it to fulfill its purpose.  A luxury automobile should drive well.  A handcrafted knife should hold a sharp edge.  Fine craftsmanship should produce quality results.

You are made in the image of God, by God.  We should expect more from ourselves because of the quality of the craftsmanship.  We were made to produce good.

Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites

Today’s Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10

Questions to ask:

1. How is Paul feeling as he writes today’s passage? What is his mood?
2. What are the central themes in Paul’s preaching and teaching which are being emphasized, or how are the central themes in this epistle being emphasized in today’s reading?
3. How does our reading show Paul’s people skills, especially how he handles conflict?
4. What in this passage would change the lives of the believer(s) being addressed? How does it make me a better disciple?
5. How does this show the “good news” of the gospel? How can I share that with someone else?

This year, #Biblebites are following the life and writings of Paul.  If you would like a copy of the reading schedule, you can view it here: https://eastlandchristians.org/news-events/2023-vision
