NASB | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship [His own master work, a work of art], created in Christ Jesus [reborn from above--spiritually transformed, renewed, ready to be used] for good works, which God prepared [for us] beforehand [taking paths which He set], so that we would walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us]. [Rom 1:20] |
Subject: God's Poetry |
Bible Note: This verse states that we are God's workmanship. What a delightful word! The Greek word here is "poiema," which is where we get our English word "poem." In Genesis we see the awesome power and creativity of our God. Here in Ephesians we see that God continues exercising that power and creativity in our salvation. When I realized the root of this word, I saw that I had not properly recognized the creativity of our God. He is the greatest and most brilliant artist, composer, and poet. He is the source of all that is wonderful and aesthetic. And it is He Who is employing that unimaginably great power and genius to create a work of beauty and holiness in us! |
