Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
We are continuing our series, Inheritance, by looking at 2:1-10. It's one of the most powerful passages of Scripture on the topic of identity and purpose!
Most of us, whether out of comparison or hurts, walk around with a diminished view of self. We look at others, and we see all the amazing things that they do and are. And we think to ourselves: what about me? But the way that God sees each person, each human made in His image, is a masterpiece. What an incredible revelation!
What if we looked at ourselves, and we thought, "I am God's masterpiece." Imagine what that could do for our confidence. Imagine what that could do for our purpose. And it's not anything that we've done, but because God has created us, we bear His image and likeness, and He calls us His masterpiece.
In his book, "You Are Special," Max Lucado writes an incredible story of worth and value, and this quote summarizes it all: “you are special because I made you.
And I don’t make mistakes.”
