We are His Workmanship

Spread the love

Eph. 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.”

There was once a sculptor whom people praised for his wonderful statue of a horse. They said, “How did you form a beautiful statue out of an ugly piece of rock?” He responded to them, “Well, all I did was chip away all that wasn’t a horse out of the block of stone.”

And this is what our Lord is doing to us today. He purifies us and chips away all impurities that are not part of us (Mal. 3:3), conforming us into the image of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are His workmanship. We are His masterpiece. We are all His projects. I have so many projects that I started but I haven’t finished. But it is not so with our Lord. We are the good works that God has started. And He will complete his works.
