“我们原是他的工作,在基督耶稣里造成的,为要叫我们行善,就是上帝所预备叫我们行的。”
以弗所书 2:10
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
EPHESIANS 2:10
Paul wrote to the Ephesians of their purpose in this world, describing them as “God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works” (2:10). Here “handiwork” denotes a work of art or a masterpiece.
Paul goes on to describe that God’s handiwork in creating us would result in our handiwork of creating good works—or expressions of our restored relationship with Jesus—for His glory in our world.
We can never be saved by our own good works, but when God hand makes us for His purposes, He can use us to bring others toward His great love.
