Reflect
This verse follows the declaration that salvation is gift, not a ground for boasting.
Good works are the path grace creates, not the price paid to earn grace. Identity as God’s workmanship comes before activity.
Receive worth as gift, then do one good work without using it to prove your importance.
The page leaves room around the words because reflection does not need to be crowded. Colour as much or as little as helps you remain attentive. The aim is not a finished art project, but a truthful meeting between Scripture and the life you are actually living.
Pause and notice
A few questions to sit with
