Works

Who does great things, unfathomable, And wondrous works without number.

It was only yesterday that you outsiders to God's ways had no idea of any of this, didn't know the first thing about the way God works, hadn't the faintest idea of Christ. You knew nothing of that rich history of God's covenants and promises in Israel, hadn't a clue about what God was doing in the world at large. Now because of Christ—dying that death, shedding that blood—you who were once out of it altogether are in on everything.

For we are God's workmanship, (re)created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us,

for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.

You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly. You have one Master, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who rules over all, works through all, and is present in all. Everything you are and think and do is permeated with Oneness.

Mankind’s limited potential highlights God’s limitless power.
