Ephesians 2:10
For we are His masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand in order that we would walk in them.
We are not the workmen of God but the workmanship of God (Eph. 2:10). We are in the hand of God to be worked on by God so that we may be the expression, the image, of Christ both in form and in reality. Hence, we need to be stopped from all kinds of work, even Christian work. We have to be broken and emptied so that we may be wrought with Christ by the Spirit. God’s central thought is to have Christ as everything to us so that we, as the Body of Christ, can be the expression, the image, of Christ.
