Art Museums show us the talents of those who have the gift of combining color and subject into a beautiful portrait, landscape, or abstract idea. Sculptures display the gift of taking sand or clay or marble and shaping it into a likeness of someone or something.
"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 2:10 NLT
We are works of art also. God takes our lives that are shattered by sin, broken through decisions made, and turns us into a new creation. How? When we recognize that we have sinned against God and others and we cannot do anything to earn forgiveness for our sins, God offers to wash away our sins and create us as God's masterpiece. We cannot earn it or buy it. By faith, we place our trust in God's plan. Jesus is God in the flesh who died on the cross and rose again the third day victorious over sin. When we receive God's free gift of the victory over sin in Jesus through our trust in God's plan, God does all the work. Our lives are changed. God does the changing in us.
To God be the Glory for the work God has done in my life!
