THE PURPOSE OF YOUR CREATION



"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." — Ephesians 2:10

The phrase "His workmanship" originates from the Greek word "poiema," meaning "something skillfully crafted" or "a masterpiece." Believers are described here as God's masterpiece. This emphasizes that God created us with purpose and immense love. We are not here by accident; rather, each of us has been divinely and uniquely crafted by God.

This means you are evidence of God's creativity and intentionality. By being "His workmanship," we reflect His glory in how we are made and how we live. Therefore, you must change your perspective and take pride in how God has created you.

These words also indicate that this creation is not merely physical but spiritual. When we accept Christ as our Savior, we become new creations (2 Corinthians 5:17). Being created in Christ involves being reborn through faith, where our lives are transformed, and we become part of God's family.

The purpose of our new creation is to perform good works. These works are not actions we do to gain God's approval but are the results of our salvation. These good works include serving God and others, demonstrating love and mercy, and living righteously and humbly before God.

Therefore, the work you do now or the gifts and financial blessings God has given you are meant to be used for good works. As the Scripture says, "which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them." This means God created and blessed you for that purpose. If you are still searching for the reason for your existence, it is to showcase God's greatness by using your gifts, talents, and abilities to do good on earth. If anyone is doing the opposite of this, they are not fulfilling God's purpose for their creation.

Prayer: O God, I thank You for creating me with skill and love. Help me understand and fulfill the purpose You have for my life.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
