Made for Good


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

When God created he said it was good.  That statement included us, we were made for good. 
When we think about the 2 commandments of loving God and loving our neighbor, we must realize God has meant us for good.  The world we live in gives us ample opportunity to do good, but we don’t always take advantage of that opportunity. We are selfish when we were made to be selfless.  We try to bend all things to our will, rather than rejoicing in God’s will.  We have become egocentric, when we should be Christocentric.

The point is we were made for better things than we have currently settled for.  The only way to become the good works we are supposed to be is to invite Christ into our hearts. 

Don’t resign to being less than God has planned for you, let Christ in.

   Amen
