Introduction: You are the most precious one in the world. God will give any cost to redeem you. He gave His life for you; because He loves you, He created you, and He cares for you.

1. We are sinners (1-3). Verses one to three talk about the state of man—man is helpless, hopeless, sinful, and fallen. We can never earn our salvation by work. We deserved death penalty or the wrath of God.

2. Salvation is by grace (4-9).  The good news is God’s love and salvation. Because of his great love, mercy and kindness, we are saved from the punishment of death, and we are made alive in Christ to inherit all the riches of his glorious inheritance. Grace is a gift which we do not deserve.

3. We are the masterpiece of God (10). God uniquely created us to do His good will and plan. We cannot do ourselves, but Jesus Christ is working in us to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us.

Conclusion: God loves you and cares for you very much because you are the masterpiece of God. The ultimate plan of God for us is not merely salvation, but to fulfill His plan and to live for his glory. Amen
