GOD’S MASTERPIECE Ephesians 2:10
God’s Solution • But God!
Ephesians – Who He is; who we are 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that God … may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him… that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you… the riches of his glorious inheritance and the greatness of his power toward us who believe Ephesians 1:16,17,19
But God, being rich in merc,… great love with which he loved us… made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up … show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:4-9 …but let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love, justice, and righteousness in the earth Jeremiah 9:23-24
• God’s Workmanship
poiema – a poem, an exquisite work of art, a masterpiece
God’s masterpiece
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
• Our Price Tag Have this mind among yourselves… though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, … he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Philippians 2:5-11
Our problem: broken people in a broken world
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins… following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind… Ephesians 2:1-3
• Our Purpose 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
