“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 ‭KJV‬‬

Humanity is God’s good idea. Genesis 1:27-28 declares, “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” God created you in His image — you are not God. You were formed by God — who is the Creator of all things in Heaven and in Earth. We are His creation. 

According to Strong’s Concordance, the Hebrew word for “Image” is, ‘tselem’ (H6754) which means, “Likeness (of resemblance).” God fashioned and formed you out of His likeness. You were created to reflect and Glorify God. You were created to worship God. Your gifts, talents and abilities were placed inside of you by God for His Pleasure and Delight, and through your submission and obedience, every gift and aspect of your life was created to give Christ Glory. 

You Were Created To Worship Christ. Colossians‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:” You were not created to replace God. You were created to give God Glory. Let the work of your hands praise Him. Let your gifts exalt Him. Let your heart magnify Him. Let every part of your life worship and magnify the King. 

“You weren’t mass-produced. You aren’t an assembly-line product. You were deliberately planned, specifically gifted, and lovingly positioned on this earth…by the Master Crafts-Man.”
