"We are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus," Ephesians 2:10.
Who's the craftsman? God. And what did he craft? Us. (No, not us as creatures in the original creation way back in ancient times when -- well, yeah, of course, he did do that, but that's not what it's talking about here -- God created us alive in present times though we had degenerated into the walking dead.) God regenerated us now in Christ. God's the Creator, the Worker, the Craftsman, the Doer. And he did a work making us alive in Christ. Cool! So what happens next? We now do the good works which God already prepped for us to do. No more walking dead: Rather, walking good-doers.
We walk with a brother or sister today mutually encouraging toward the good path through an evil and broken generation. And, together, we bless the Lord for his work in Christ creating our regeneration.
