Our opening verse reveals a profound truth about who you are in Christ, it says that “you are God’s workmanship”.  If you are in Christ Jesus right now, the Word of God describes you as God’s workmanship.  This is a truth, a present day reality that you must accept, and endorse.  Lets look deeper into how God sees you when He looks at you.  Now, the word “workmanship” here is a originally in the Greek: poiema.  It means you are God’s product that has His stamp of workmanship and approval, gaurantee for success, glory, beauty, and excellence.  And then He goes on to say He designed you this way for the execution of good works. Think about that!

ποίημα  poiēma  workmanship  –  product, God made,  God work, workmanship, masterpiece, work of art, design

You are God’s divine masterpiece intricately designed by Him.  You were made according to God’s perfect design.  And now have been fabricated anew in Christ Jesus.  And what is the purpose of this magnificent creation? He says, “unto good works”.

The way God created you as His masterpiece is in such a way that you are able to produce good and glorious works to bless your world.  And these good works God has “before ordained that you should walk in them”.  That means that He planned for you to execute and succeed in them.  And He prepared every thing you will require for you to prosper and to succeed in those good works.

ἀγαθός  ἔργον  agathos ergon:  good work –  good business, good job, good employment, good occupation, good profession, excellent business, employment, excellent occupation – work, honourable work – business – employment – occupation, good ability

Good works refers to a work, a profession, or a job or occupation that you were preordained to showcase your God given gifts, talents and abilities as a blessing in service to God and to man.  And the Word says that you have been created in Christ Jesus unto those good works; to display the good abilities, the good gifts, talents and ideas that are in you so that you can be a blessing to your world.  Your very design and make up as His work of art is to reveal and to express these good abilities that God put within you.
Now, when you came into Christ these gifts and abilities were then empowered and perfected by the Holy Spirit to be a blessing that will impact the world. This is your purpose and your calling in life, make sure that you don’t miss it. Discover the good abilities that God has prepared and placed on the inside of you today and begin to be bold and confident about them.  When you discover them, step out in faith because God has put His stamp of approval and gaurantee on you to execute them for the blessing of others as His masterpiece.  Begin to work on them everyday and you will begin to see the power of God and the glory of God manifested and revealed in and through your life.
