Created for a Purpose
Salvation is truly wonderful - that God should call the dead and make them alive. But there is a purpose sometimes overlooked: we are created for GOOD WORKS. Not 'by good works,' which would imply works-salvation, but for them. We are not saved to lay about and await His return; we're to do His work til He returns.
Ephesians 2:10English Standard Version
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
