“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” Ephesians 2:10
We are saved by grace alone and through faith alone in Jesus Christ and His cross, not by our works, will, or choosing. But we are saved for a purpose — not that we should continue in sin and rebellion against God, but that we should do those good works God created us to do. And what are those works? We learn God’s will for our lives in the commandments He has given us in His Word.
O gracious and merciful God, thank You for granting me salvation through Spirit-wrought faith in Christ Jesus. Move me to live for You now in accord with Your Word and do those works You created me to do. Amen.
