Before Jesus, we were spiritually dead — separated from God by sin. But God didn’t wait for us to fix ourselves. Because of His love and mercy, He made us alive in Christ. He gave us grace — a gift we could never earn.
And not only did He save us — He gave us purpose. You are His workmanship. That word means masterpiece — carefully designed, created with love and intention.
This truth should change the way we live. We are no longer defined by shame, guilt, or what others say about us. We belong to God, and He has good things planned for our lives. That’s assurance in Christ. That’s freedom.
