Arrange these statements reflecting the argument of Ephesians 2:10 in the order they appear in the verse.
Answer
Believers are identified as God's workmanship, Believers are created in Christ Jesus for good works, Believers walk in the good works prepared beforehand by God
Explanation
### The order
1. **Believers are God’s workmanship.** The verse first identifies them as God’s own handiwork.
2. **They are recreated in Christ Jesus.** The verse then describes the new life God has made in Christ.
3. **They are to walk in good works prepared by God.** The purpose of this recreation is a life of good works.
### The concept
The sequence distinguishes source, transformation, and purpose. God is the maker, recreation occurs in Christ, and good works are the way believers are called to live. This order prevents the mistaken conclusion that good works are the cause of redemption. The verse presents them as the outcome and purpose of the recreated life.
### Remember
Ephesians 2:10 moves from God’s work, to recreation in Christ, to a life of prepared good works.
