According to Ephesians 2:10, what are believers created in Christ Jesus to do?
Answer
Walk in good works prepared beforehand by God
Explanation
### Why this is right
- **Walking in the good works prepared by God.** Ephesians 2:10 says believers are recreated to do the good works God prepared for them.
- **Bearing fruit and continuing to bear it.** John 15:16 describes Jesus choosing and appointing disciples to go and bear lasting fruit.
- **Offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Christ.** First Peter 2:5 describes believers as living stones and a holy priesthood offering spiritual sacrifices through Jesus Christ.
### The concept
The passages describe conduct and service as expressions of life in Christ. Good works, fruit-bearing, and spiritual sacrifices are distinct images, but all describe an active life shaped by relationship with God. Romans 12:5 also rejects the idea that believers have no shared connection by describing them as parts of one body.
### The other options
- **D. Treating other believers as unrelated individuals with no shared responsibilities.** Romans 12:5 describes believers as mutually dependent parts of one body.
### Terms
- **Spiritual sacrifices**: Acts of worship and service offered to God through Christ.
- **Fruit-bearing**: Producing the lasting results associated with life in Christ.
### Remember
The material presents Christian identity as leading to service, fruit, and shared life.
