Ephesians 2:10

What Does Ephesians 2:10 Mean?

The word “workmanship” in this verse means you are God’s masterpiece – His greatest work of art! God didn’t just create you and leave you on a shelf. He made you with special gifts and abilities so you can do amazing things that help others and honor Him. Those good works were already waiting for you before you took your first breath!

This week, look for one “good work” you can do each day – maybe helping a sibling, encouraging a friend, or picking up trash at the park. Keep a journal or draw pictures of each good work you do. At the end of the week, look at how many good things God helped you accomplish!

Did You Know?

The Greek word used for “workmanship” is poiema, which is where we get our English word “poem.” So you are literally God’s poem – something beautiful that He carefully crafted with love! This same word was used by ancient Greeks to describe the finest works of art.
