masterpiece?

Ephesians 2:10


We are God's masterpiece.

He has created us anew in Christ Jesus,

so that we can do the good things He planned for us long ago. (NLT 1st ed)



Instead, we are God’s accomplishment, 

created in Christ Jesus to do good things. 

God planned for these good things to be the way that we live our lives. (CEB)



God has made us what we are. 

In Christ Jesus, God made us new people 

so that we would spend our lives doing the good things he had already planned for us to do. (ERV)



For we are his workmanship, 

created in Christ Jesus for good works, 

which God prepared beforehand, 

that we should walk in them. (ESV)



 The fact is that what we are we owe to the hand of God upon us. 

We are born afresh in Christ, 

and born to do those good deeds which God planned for us to do. (J B Phillips)



God does both the making and saving. 

He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, 

the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, 

work we had better be doing. (The Message)




For we are the product of His hand, 

heaven’s poetry etched on lives, 

created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago. (The Voice)
