    Ep.2:10 "His workmanship"

    "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."

    Before ordained is what the Bible begins with. "In the beginning" God has designated places, for you and me, for every blade of grass, fruit bearing trees and marine life. How marine life moves into landwards or land animals took to aquatic living are also foreseen beforehand. How man should walk in the manner God has willed for him owe to what God in essence is. He is Wisdom and Power which establishes an order to which all life forms shall move. As God has ordained us so has He ordained this creation also to walk. God made man as His steward (Ge.1:28) who is after 'our image and after our likeness' so the man so designated for his generation is an intercessor. One man's disobedience upset this order. Where justice is wanting it is a sure sign that the world is out of joint. "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.:(Is.59:16)

    "All the foundations of the earth are out of course." (Ps.82:5b;11:3).In terms of the covenant it would be the seven days are at odds with one another. For this reason Jesus Christ was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. (1 Jon 3:8)

    As His workmanship do we work according to what we think as good or according the will of God? "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." (1 Co.3:13)

    As a steward man failed His creation. Only in Christ our workmanship can restore the balance."Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God./ For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now."(Ro.8:21-22)
