We are his workmanship - born for victory!

In Ephesians Paul writes that “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Eph. 2:10

Before you and I got saved, we were going our own way. It was a way filled with misery, where we worked by the sweat of our brows to save ourselves. But the Bible says that: “All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Is. 53:6. Today we are going on a new way, God’s way. We are his workmanship. It is his power that is working through us in such a powerful way. The purpose of life is to fulfill God’s purposes for our lives. All of us have different missions, gifts and callings, but there is a purpose for all of our lives that is bigger than ourselves. There is a goal and a purpose for our lives, and that is to do everything we can to make the kingdom of God a reality on the earth here and now.

We are born for victory, called to live in victory, and if the Lord tarries, then we will die in victory, because he who believes in the Lord Jesus will live even though he dies!
