Are You Ready to Let God Turn You into a Masterpiece? (2.1.15)

GOD saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from GOD. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are GOD’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. - Ephesians 2:8-10

The Bible says when we accept Jesus, we are forgiven and given new life.
When you start your new life, GOD crafts you into a masterpiece.

Here are 3 things that happen when GOD turns you into a masterpiece:

1. You are Forgiven

Do not let your past mistakes keep you from living the joyful life GOD wants you to have.
Jesus said, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9). God’s love and grace is bigger than any sin. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from ALL unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9)

2. You Show Other People How Great GOD Is

You are a living, breathing testimony of GOD’s grace and love through Jesus Christ. GOD says, He picked you to be part of a new family, meant to show the difference He can make in a life. “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, GOD’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” (1 Peter 2:9).

Your life is like a beautiful painting that gives recognition to its painter. As GOD’s masterpiece, you should “Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in Heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

3. You Become the Light of the World

Jesus sets you free from the slavery of sin when you accept Christ. Sin won’t control you anymore. GOD gives you the Holy Spirit, who is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. (Romans 8:11) When you have the Holy Spirit, you will reflect GOD’s love, peace and patience. (Galatians 5:22-23)

The Bible says “We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from GOD, not from ourselves.” (2 Corinthians 4:7). That is why you will lead people to Jesus, when GOD’s light shines through you.
