Message 6: Saved to be a Masterpiece
God has a masterpiece(poiema) that He has prepared all things for and considered and worked for. We can see the created world and see God’s work, but God would point to us as His masterpiece. Every step and moment of our life is a splash of color that God puts on us, brush stroke by brush stroke. It’s not a result of works, no one painted themselves, but it is because of grace. We are not saved by good works; however, the saved person works. We are his masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared, and His full salvation frees us to live this out.
Ephesians 2:10 - "For we are His workmanship(masterpiece), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them."
Ephesians 2:7 - "so that in the ages to come He might show the riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus"
