“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus
to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:10.”
It is interesting how often in the New Testament we
find plural pronouns used and not singular.
Such is the case in Ephesians 2:10 above;
“…WE are God’s workmanship…” and at the end of the
verse we read: “…good works…for US to do.”
God certainly uses individuals.
But he also speaks to his church corporately and
expects that we as individuals are properly united with his body where he has
planted us.
WE are his workmanship and we are more effective
united together to impact our world for him.
Jesus prayed for his followers to be “one” in John 17.
When people look at our local church do you think they
see one representation of Jesus Christ in that place or just a bunch of
individuals doing their own thing?
His word comes to individuals but is also comes to his
people who gather together as local representations of him.
He has good works prepared in advance for “US” to do.
Are you doing your part?
Commit today to be a contributing part of his body of
believers, not just a person who goes to church on Sunday.
Yes, he has plans and purpose for your life!
