When, in faith, we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour, we become a new creation, as St Paul explains in his letters to the fledgling churches he helped to found. As believers, we are no longer in the control and service of Satan and our lives are shaped by our relationship with Jesus, the one who has saved us from sin and death. We become instead, as St Paul tells us, His workmanship and our lives should provide evidence of this to everyone around us. Yet we still face a daily battle while we are here on earth, a struggle between our redeemed nature and our fallen sinful selves. This is a lifelong struggle, in which only by God's strength and the presence of the Holy Spirit within us can we begin to look more like our Creator. His Workmanship aims to explore and deepen our understanding of some of the issues that confront us all in the challenge of becoming God's workmanship in our daily lives. It is designed so that each chapter can be read independently as a stand-alone topic and begins with an exploration of who Jesus really is, His role in creation, and ends by looking at what the bible tells us will happen when He returns. His Workmanship deals in more depth with commonly used terms such as grace, faith and trust, as well as the practical issue of dealing with doubt and temptation. It also includes an examination of the biblical account of the nature and purpose of prayer that goes beyond treating it as a shopping list. His Workmanship will also help you view creation in such a way that it becomes extraordinary evidence in our universe for the work of a creator.
