Power Packed Verse


“For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:10

This verse is packed with power, love, hope, joy, peace, and mercy.

A few things that I love about this verse

  1. We are God’s Masterpiece.
    1. We are a work of outstanding artistry, skill, and workmanship. We are God’s best piece of work.
    2. That is AWESOME and encouraging. It makes me feel beautiful, loved, and valued.

  1. We are created anew in Christ Jesus
    1. Because of Christ the ugliness of my sin was carved out and removed. The red stain that covered me is now washed away leaving me white as snow. I am no longer the same person I once was. I am new in Christ. Covered in His love, filled with the Holy Spirit. I am no longer bound to my old sinful nature. My thoughts have been made new. My heart belongs to Christ, I am His and He is mine.

  1. We can now do the good things He planned for us long ago.
    1. As God’s masterpiece, who is made new in Christ, is now able to go and do the “Good” things He planned for me long ago. God has good things planned for me, and He planned them long ago. God wants to use me to bring glory to Him. That gives me hope and peace that my future is great because of Him in me.

If you are ever in need of encouragement or need to know you are loved and beautiful draw on this verse and let it saturate all over you.

Jesus thank You for Your wonderful workmanship! Your love in indescribable! Thank You for expressing Your love for us through this power packed verse. May we cling to every word and be reminded daily of Your love for us. Amen
