Did you know that you have a good work to do today and God created it before you were born? Ephesians 1-3

Ephesians 2:10 (NASBStr)

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

Men love to do good things.   We rejoice in good works and we praise each other for them.   It is possible even for a non-believer to do a good work.  Yet, in doing the work it merits no favor for his/her salvation or toward God.   But, in the above verse we read that, for the believer, God has actually "created" good works.   God created them "before the foundation of the world."   Before this world even was the good work that a believer will do today was created by God.    God has laid out the path that we walk and He did so before the foundation of the world.  IF we do ANYTHING good, it was pre-ordained and created by God for us to do it.   God prepared them for us to "walk in the them."  It would be taught, by some, that this is our part in the Divine salvation.     Yet, Paul has just stated in verses eight and nine, that this salvation (which includes verse ten) is totally an act of faith and not of works, so no one can boast.   The believers day-to-day life is based upon the following and pursuing these good works BY FAITH.   We know that God has created them and ordained us to walk in them.  And, by the Spirit that is what we are to do.   With the Spirit's guidance we seek those good works to the glory of God, which He created and produces through us.
