God's Workmanship

Summary

The sermon explores Ephesians 2:8-10, emphasizing that salvation is a gift from God received through faith, not earned by works, but that good works naturally flow from a transformed life in Christ. Using biblical examples such as the anointing of Jesus in Matthew 26 and the crossing of the Red Sea, the preacher illustrates that believers are God's workmanship, created for good works ordained by God. True good works are motivated by love for God, involve sacrifice, are led by faith, and are done humbly and obediently to glorify God rather than to earn salvation. The sermon also highlights the church as a spiritual building made of living stones, reflecting God's ongoing creative work in believers.
