For good works

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:4-10 (NKJV)


His available grace has been bestowed on all that all may come to the knowledge of His love and nature. His acts teach us unconditional love, love not driven for self gain and gratification but with a sacrificial intent not demanding a kickback or favor.

As specially crafted people destined and designed for good works in Christ Jesus, let us walk and work in this path and role with our all so as to fulfill our purpose in Him that has called us.

Be encouraged,
