God’s Handiwork

 

“For we are God’s handiwork…”

—Ephesians 2:10a

God is certainly a master artist. In every aspect of the universe that He has created we can see His handiwork. The precise way in which He has crafted all things is utterly astounding.

This is all the more true when we examine the human beings that God has formed out of the dust of the earth. The amazing intricacies of the human body are completely mind boggling. Our bodily systems function with such care and accuracy that even with all the advances in medical science, doctors readily admit that they only know a minimal amount of how all the systems of the body function together with such captivating complexity.

We who believe in God through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, should recognize how wonderful it truly is that God has chosen us to belong to Himself. He not only created us as astonishing works of art, He has loved us with His everlasting love and desires to have us as His companions for all eternity.

The Apostle Paul tried to capture the amazement he felt when he considered what God had done when he wrote these words in Ephesians 2:10:

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Not only did God create us in such an amazing way and with such breathtaking qualities, He did so in order that we might represent Him to a desperately needy world. God has given us good works to do in His Name. He will open the door for us to perform those good works in such a way that our efforts will bring honor to Him.

That is a wonderful blessing in our lives and one for which we should daily praise this God who loves us so very much.
