Thoughts on Ephesians Chapter 2

Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Dictionary.com defines workmanship as the art or skill of a workman or workwoman.  The quality or mode of execution, as of a thing made.  The product or result of labor and skill; work executed.

My kids like to play with play dough and they try to create things or just smash it around on the table.  They are not very intentional yet about what they create.  They are pretty good at snakes because it is easy to rollout but it’s not what I would call workmanship.  It is a pretty big mess that takes a good imagination to see what they are creating.  They have many years yet to perfect their play dough skills.

God did not halfhazardly create us because he was bored.  We were crafted with great skill for a great purpose.  God has made preparations and now it is up to us to live out what He created.
