“We Are His Masterpiece”
By Zach Wood
Ephesians 2:10
(NLT)
“For we are God’s
masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good
things he planned for us long ago.”
Isn’t it an amazing thought to know that God created each of
us individually and not all the same?
How crazy would it be if we were all alike and knew the same things and
behaved all the same? Can you imagine
that? That would definitely change the
world up a bit, don’t you think?
Fortunately, God did not make us all the same, but very different and
unique and we should be thankful He has done so.
One thing that I’m always amazed by is how God describes
creating us. We are His workmanship, His
masterpiece. The NIV describes us as His
workmanship, while the NLT says masterpiece.
While both descriptions are wonderful, I tend to lean more toward
masterpiece as being my favored description.
How wonderful and beautiful that we are God’s created masterpiece. I immediately think of sculptures and
different artists taking time to make something very detailed and elaborate.
The enemy sure has his ways of getting each of us to feel
like we are worthless and no good to God at all. While we know what God says to us in His Word
about being unique, the enemy is very sly at getting us to believe many times
that we are not worth anything to God.
He gets us to believe the lie that we have messed up too many times and
that God will not love us anymore. That
is so far from the truth it is crazy!
You and I are an absolutely beautiful masterpiece created by
the very hands of Almighty God. What is
even more beautiful is when we come to Christ and we are made new through Him
in a new birth. We are His masterpiece,
each of us. Now, how does that make you
feel?? If you are reading this and
you’ve been taunted so many years by the lie that God does not love you anymore
and that you are worthless, you are completely wrong. He loves you and nothing will ever change
that.
You and I are His beautiful masterpiece!
