God's masterpiece Ephesians 2:10

Good morning all. God is good all the time, all the time God is good. TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!

Okay,  my friend Liz Starkey caught and corrected me on yesterday's devotional.  She stated: "You are wrong Johnny unconfessed sin cannot keep us from the love of God, for Romans 8:38 states that nothing can separate us from the love of God. "

In my words my intent was that WE drive the wedge between us and God. God never moves, but we do, and when we feel guilty we may 'avoid' talking to God, but this is all due to our guilt.  Romans 8:37 "No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us."
   Nothing can separate us from Christ's presence.  We should feel totally secure in Christ, in God!  To better understand this please go back and read Romans 8:31-39.   Thank you Liz.
    
    Ephesians 2:10 "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."

   We are God's masterpiece, His work of art, His workmanship.  Our salvation is something only God can do.  It is his powerful, creative work in us.  If God considers us his masterpieces, we should not treat ourselves or others with disrespect or as inferior work.
    As with the masterpieces of the great artists of the world, people come and see, admire, and see the reflection of the artist.  Do others see the reflection of Christ in YOU?  Is Christ so much in you that others wonder what you have?  They want to have what you have? Which is the love of God!
Love you all.
    In Christ's Love and Grace
