For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. [KJV]
Further Reading: Leviticus 20:26
A missionary spent his entire life preaching to the people of one village. This missionary lived, died and was buried in this village. Much later, a set of missionaries arrived the same village and preached Christ to them. Surprisingly, the villagers exclaimed ‘we know Christ, he lived here among us’. The villagers were referring to the dead missionary whose life radiated the life and nature of Christ as described by the new missionaries. The entire community now turned to God because of the life the old missionary had lived.
You are God's master piece; you are created for good works. Are you living up to expectation? How many will come to Jesus because of your attitude? Who are you when you're not in Church? Remember that your life should preach Christ.
What difference exists between you and the world?
Here are some of the differences between a master piece and other pieces:
The master piece is exclusively reserved for the Master, he will not sell it.
Every other piece is a copy of the master piece.
Go into today asking yourself these questions:
Is God proud of me?
Can God ask others to copy me? Do I fit as a master piece? If you know you do not measure to the standard of God's master piece, spend the day talking to God and determine to live for God from today.
Prayer: Dear Lord, please help me to be an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Amen(1 Timothy 4:12).
