For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephesians 2:10).
Our salvation didn’t originate within ourselves. God was the One who made this happen. When God gets all the credit for our deliverance from sin, there is no room for boasting on our part. He blesses us with salvation because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ. God has rescued us from His wrath so that we might serve Him. God is the master Craftsman, and we are His work of art. We were spiritually re-created in Christ Jesus for a life of good works that God prepared for believers in eternity past.
