For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:10
This passage is a reminder to us that God sent Jesus here to be an example for us. As a part of the body of Jesus, we need to step outside of our daily routines and get out of the daily state of mind of me, me, me. We tend to get into the routine of, I go to church every Sunday therefore I am doing God’s good works. So we go to church, think of God for an hour or two and then go home and we tend to not think about him again till the next Sunday. So how are we supposed to do good works in God’s name if we don’t even think about Him? We need to start thinking of others and what we can do to help. God can’t do it all alone - he needs us to follow in Christ’s ways and serve our fellow man and woman. We often think there is no time to serve others but we can serve others in small ways every day.
