One of those Good Works

Ephesians 2:10
By Rev. Jan Sattem


Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” The context is where Paul is describing how each one of us was saved. Eph.2:10 indicates that which follows next — good works. One of those good works is surely to tell others about the new life we have been given.

In the ancient city of Susa, a young woman pondered her life and her good fortune. It would be death for her to approach the king. Yet her uncle Mordecai was encouraging her in just that vein. It was wonderful that she was now the queen, but at the moment Mordecai was asking her to point out a specific problem to the king. Ester was filled with fear and perhaps even looked for another to take this burden. Mordecai explained that God could raise up another to save the Jewish people from this hate-filled plan, but He had not. He says to her, “ . . . who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?”

Evangelism is a sharing of the good news of salvation. It is to tangibly be used by God in the harvesting of souls. This is one of the reasons we have all been born-again — to tell starving beggars where we just found a sumptuous banquet. It is God who regenerates the heart and it is that same God that uses us to give them the right hand of fellowship into the family of God! Praise God that he still uses His children in this manner!
