The Fearfully and the Wonderfully Creations of God!

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalm 139:13-14 NIV

Even though we do not like our identities, we ought to believe that we have been made fearfully and wonderfully. This is because God, our Heavenly and Creator has created us in His image. (Genesis 1:27) Because of this, we can be called the children of God if we believe and have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. (John 1:12-13) This is the reason why He was crucified and resurrected; to let us have relationship with God again. “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God…” (1 Peter 3:18) For this reason, Jesus Christ have said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Moreover, God has distributed all kinds of His gifts to the children of God through the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-6), so we have to use them to let others show who Jesus Christ is (Romans 12:6-8) for the glory (Colossians 3:4) and the kingdom of God. (Matthew 7:21) This is why Jesus has said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” (John 14:12)

You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9)

All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. (2 Corinthians 5:19-20)

Therefore, we have to praise God for making us the children of Him to do good works in Christ Jesus.

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10)

For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.

By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:9-11)

For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

Therefore, my brothers and sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5-11)

In my case, God has created me as a disabled person. However, I thank the Lord for giving me the grace of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to become Christian Writer. Even though, I only write devotionals for the glory (Colossians 3:4) and the kingdom of God (Matthew 7:21), I am willing to become a Christian author in the future, even though it is going to be hard. This is because I believe that it is the will of God for me to influence others spiritually through writing.
