God Created Us For Good Things

“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” (Eph. 2:10)

What’s your excuse?

We all have some kind of failure we can use to hold us back. Too old, too weak, too poor, not talented, not good-looking, shy, awkward, clumsy, uneducated—throw all excuses for failure away because God judges us by our faith and heart attitude. He created us, and we are His treasure, His masterpiece!

“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” (2 Cor. 12:9 ESV)

Therefore

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” (2 Cor. 5:17 ESV)

“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Phil. 4:13 ESV)

“We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.” (2 Cor. 5:20)
