Goodness (The Fruit of the Spirit in You)

Goodness                                                                                Day 70

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

Pastor Rick Warren’s book, The Purpose Driven Life, aided readers in understanding God’s vision for their lives. The book detailed how we are to love God, love others, and live a life pleasing to God. While Pastor Warren provided a detailed and contemporary guide to living a life of purpose, Paul wrote about it succinctly in his letter to the Ephesians.

Paul’s letter reminds us that a creator has an intended purpose in mind for His creations. Our Creator allowed for us to be saved by grace for His good works. While we may find personal pleasure and enjoyment with our eyes, ears, tongues, and limbs, these are not the purposes of our lives in Christ. As His workmanship, we should walk in the path He has laid before us - to serve Him by serving others.

Let us be thankful for grace. Let us find the good works to which we can and will commit ourselves. By serving others, we may serve God. Through fellowship with others, let us worship God. Let us always remember, who we are and whose we are.
