God's Masterpiece

Ephesians 2:10 NLT

10 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.

One of the greatest achievement in our life is understanding what we are in Christ. For in understanding what we are, we find that we are his treasure, Masterpiece. In many a times the Bible says that we are his Children, Friends, We are in one body and the head of us all is Christ.

Being Masterpieces:

We are all given each a gift, one to prophesy and other to preach and other as a vessel to exemplify the life of Christ. But all of us are to follow one thing common - To use our gift for the glory of God.

Romans 12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) Dedicated Service

12 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, [a]acceptable to God, which is your [b]spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this [c]world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may [d]prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.

3 For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 Since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, each of us is to exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, [f]according to the proportion of his faith; 7 if [g]service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with [h]liberality; he who [i]leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; [j]give preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the [k]saints, [l]practicing hospitality.

14 Bless those who persecute [m]you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but [n]associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. [o]Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but [p]leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord. 20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him, and if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Respecting God's will for our life:
God never interviene in our life for our free choices, We may think of all the things that people do and not being Judged, but God knows the way. He gives us the freedom from choosing things - In that way he shows us that he is merciful and willing to help us. Not by strict command or on imposing rules he govern us, but by the truth and love that he makes us know that it is possible only by faith in Jesus our lives are to be free from any bondage to sin.

God's Masterpiece is in choosing what he wants us to become and not what we wanted to. We are not his masterpiece, because of our works that we may boast of ourselves, but by his Grace to glorify him.
