A huge aspect of living in abundant life is the realization that your life has purpose and meaning.

God truly has a beautiful plan for His glory and your good, set before the foundations of the earth,

not only for mankind, but for your life. As we begin wrapping up our week on living an abundant life,

I hope you'll leave today encouraged, envisioned, and empowered.

Welcome to the First of Team podcast. Our verse for today comes from Ephesians 2.10.

Scripture says, for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared

beforehand, that we should walk in them. You and I were created to make an eternal impact

that no one else can make.

We've each been given a destiny of good works

that are incredibly important and wholly unique.

No one else can touch God's people's lives like you can.

God created you for a unique purpose that is solely yours, and he is ready today to equip and empower you to make a deep and lasting impact on this earth.

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. You are the workmanship of the master craftsman. You're the creation

of the Almighty Creator of all. And He's made you for such a time as this.

You're not here by mistake.

You're not less than other believers around you.

Your calling and anointing carries no less weight or importance in the kingdom than anyone else's.

As a Christian, you have been made new.

The person you were before believing in Jesus has been redeemed and transformed.

You now have the same Holy Spirit dwelling within you, who raised Jesus from the grave,

empowered the disciples to save, heal, and set free the lost, and authored the words of Scripture. Making an eternal impact is all about you becoming and living out of who you are
