We are His workmanship...what are we doing?

“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.”

Romans 1: 26- 27 (New King James Version)


We read in Ephesians 2 : 10 , “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them.” This is what God wants of us. We are His workmanship , created in Him for good works, which he has laid out well before hand and we should walk in those ways.

Romans 1: 25 , “who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.” . People exchanged the truth of God for the lie. The truth is we are created in Him for Him ! He has plans and purposes for us for His glory even before time began . He knew us even before our substance was even formed . That is our God. He loves us even before we loved Him. He paid the price for us even though we never loved Him. He bore our sin our shame so that we may walk in the freedom of Christ and life Eternal. That is the truth.

The devil is a liar. If you hear a whisper or a scream saying you are worthless , indulge in sin , no body cares for you , it doesn’t matter that you exist , you are a mistake ; ask the devil to be gone in Jesus name. He is a liar. You are a chosen priesthood. You are an ambassador of the Most High ransomed by the blood of Jesus Christ and called His own.

Men and women have given themselves up for unnatural desires . Using what God has given for unnatural purposes. This is not of God. Its time to turn to Him. All it takes is just lifting your heart to Him and He will set you free. John 8 : 38, “”Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

We read in Romans 1 : 28-32, “And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them

Backbiters , disobedient to parents, unforgiving, proud….. Knowing the righteous judgment of God yet what is it that we still do ? The word of God says that those who practice such things are deserving of death. Wait ! Not just those who practice it but also those who approve of those who practice them !!!

If we approve of those who practice sin we bear the same judgment ! Don’t just close your eyes and say ‘Oh I am ok if you do what you do . I just wont do it.” – that’s not right. Do not approve of those practicing sin. We are called to be light bearers to bring them out of the darkness by His and for His glory. Do not condemn the person , condemn the sin.

God created us in Christ Jesus , we are His workmanship created for good works that He has prepared before hand that we should walk in them. This is what we ought to be doing. Anything else is against this.

What are we doing ?

God Bless
