Created & Saved For Good Works
The Ephesians had unlimited
spiritual wealth at their disposal,
yet they lived as spiritual paupers.
So Paul wrote to encourage
them to understand and claim
their heavenly resources. Only
then could they draw on them for
their earthly walk. And In Christ,
Christians are endowed with every
spiritual blessing including adoption,
redemption, inheritance and power.
Lord, we’ll Do Your Assignment:
For by grace you have been saved
thro faith, and that not of yourselves;
it is the gift of God (Ephesian 2:8).
For we’re His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus For Good Works,
which God Prepared beforehand
that we Should Walk in them (v10).
You were without Christ… having
no hope & without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who
once were far off have been brought
near by the blood of Christ (v12-13).
Lord, Thank you for the wonderful
& undeserved gift that You saved us.
We take no credit for our salvation;
for we are saved by Your grace,
for You gave it to us; for salvation
does not come from good works.
Keep me from losing sight of what
You’ve done for me. In gratitude,
for the price You paid for my sin,
I choose to live for You. Amen.
Lord, thank You for giving me
abundant life that will never end.
Thank You that good deeds are
part of Your plan for me to have
a purposeful and fulfilling life.
Thanks for capacity to change and
help me grow to be more like Jesus.
Help me to be a blessing to others
and lead me into Your assignment
so that destiny be fulfilled and that
Your name may be glorified. Amen.
Lord, thank You so much for the
great price that You paid for my
salvation; for You virtually paid for
me with Your blood,sweat & tears.
Lord, it’s difficult to comprehend
fully such an amazing act of love.
Since You paid the price for my sin,
I choose to live for You and to do
Your assignment that You have
specially prepared for me. Amen.
