Ephesians 2:1-10

The passage in Ephesians 2:1-10 centers on how we are alive in Christ. God has reconciled each of us to Himself as an act of grace. We are all made alive, given new life, through the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ. I love the ending verse 10 of this passage, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Throughout this Lenten season, let’s dwell in the goodness of God’s grace. What good works has God prepared for you to do? Each day, we have the opportunity to listen and connect with the Holy Spirit wherever we are and in whatever we are doing. These good works might be mundane, like letting someone go before you in the check-out line at the store, a friendly wave and hello, praying with your family or a friend, or sharing a meal. Be encouraged today; you are God’s masterpiece.
