Living The Good Life

  For we are God’s own handiwork ( His workmanship ) recreated in Christ Jesus, { born anew } that we may do those good works which God predestined ( planned beforehand ) for us 

{ taking paths which He prepared ahead of time } , that we should walk in them { living the good life which he prearranged and made ready for us to live. (Eph. 2:10 amp)

 (1) We are God’s workmanship– ( His masterpiece, handiwork we have been skillfully handcrafted by him for his own intention.

Everything God wants from us He has put within us, and created us in Christ.

(2) We are created in Christ–this tells us that God has never known us in any other place than where he created us which is IN Christ Jesus that was our beginning.

He does not know us as a sinner he cannot relate except through the judgment of the cross which brought an end to the old world, and brought in everlasting righteousness.

 (3)  The good works are the works which He planned before-hand for us they are the works of faith and grace and the accomplishments of the Holy Spirit in us.

 This  is what causes us to triumph in order that we may finish our God mission in the earth.

 (4)  Living the good life which he prearranged,  and made ready for us to live, in the first creation He made man only after he did everything else;

This is also true in the new creation he did everything then he set down expecting till all enemies be made His foot stool the battle has already been won. 

God waited until the 6th day to make man because he did not need man’s help.

 (1 Chronicles 29:16)  Also King David made full provision for the building of the temple of Solomon, and Jesus made full provision for the building of His church through His finished work;

 This gives us complete forgiveness, victory, rest, peace, prosperity, and joyful fulfillment for every divine purpose.
