(You Are Recreated In Christ And God’s Handiwork)

TO THE BIBLE:
Ephesians 2:10 AMPC. “For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].”
LET’S TALK
Notice how Apostle Paul doesn’t say, “We were or we shall be God’s own handiwork.” He chooses to use the present tense, indicating that at this very moment, God has placed His label upon you. Wherever you go in this great world, in the realms of the spirit, your identity is recognized because God’s label is upon you. You have been recreated in Christ Jesus.
Some might argue, “But God created everything, so everyone is his workmanship?” Paul’s perspective differs from this. While there was the initial creation described in Genesis, Paul focuses on a distinct creation—a transformation in Christ Jesus—for those of us who are born again. He then reveals the purpose of this new birth: that we may fulfill the good works that God has predestined for us, walking on the paths He prepared in advance. Hallelujah!
This shows that for those of us recreated in Christ, every aspect of our lives is orchestrated by God to be excellent and glorious. But that’s not all; we’re not just meant to live but to live the “good life” that God has already arranged for us to live. This helps us understand why sickness, disease, lack, or poverty should not be part of our lives. Let this be your confession. Every so often, declare, “I’m recreated in Christ, for beauty and for glory; good things are in my path, and the righteousness of God is expressed in and through me always.” Hallelujah!
GO DEEPER:
James 1:18 TPT; Ephesians 2:10 TPT
PRAY
Dear Father, thank you because I’m your excellent handiwork, fashioned for good works and to live the good life which you prearranged for me. I refuse to succumb to sickness, disease, or the elements of this world because you’ve made me superior to them and the corrupting influences and negativities in this present world of darkness. Glory to God!
