“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.” - Ephesians 2:10 New Living Translation
Thinking back on the entirety of your life have you ever thought of
yourself as a masterpiece? Well you are in God’s eyes. He paid a price you
could never pay to rid you of your sin. That’s pretty amazing! But far too many
people, both believers and non-believers, don’t happen to think they are worth
much. That is a lie from the pit of hell. You are worth so much that God became
man and died in your place so you wouldn’t have to.
The salvation that has been purchased for you with Christ’s blood is not
a reward for doing good things, for being good is a relative thing. No one will
ever be good enough to earn God’s forgiveness. Knowing this to be true God
allowed his own blood to be shed as an offering to erase our sin.
This is phenomenal news! So what are you going to do with it. Do you
simply believe in Christ or are you attempting with God’s help to imitate
Christ? That’s an important question to ask yourself because God looks at our
heart and if we aren’t sincere about following Jesus he will know it. You are
of incredible worth to Almighty God! Accept it to be true and live like you
mean it. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
