Title: We are His unique works of art that He makes fit for His city    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


Religion encourages conformity and produces consistency.   

Relationship encourages growth and expression and variability.   

To look at the multitude of flowers and not be amazed at how the Lord is able to produce beauty and fragrance in each of them despite the variability is a sort of blindness.   

The Light and Truth that is our Lord opens our eyes to see the wonderful potential He has made possible for each of us.   

An art collector doesn't buy one beautiful painting and then make copies of it to hang on every wall in every room of his mansion.   
He collects many works of art so that each wall in each room has its own beauty.   
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which He has before ordained that we should walk in them.
The Holy Spirit`s plan was ordained or decreed, and a big part of that plan is that all men come to repentance, receive Christ Jesus and be born of Him as His children.     But that hasn`t happened because of Free Will.     

Our part is to willingly and freely receive Him and so be part of HisPlan.     

Even after being Born Again as New Spirit beings we must, in our soul (mind, will and emotions), willingly and purposely abstain from sin, spend time in the Word and pray in the Holy Spirit so that we be transformed by the Renewing of our minds.     

So, we walk in good works only when and to the extent that we are led by the Holy Spirit.

In whom all the building fitly framed together grows unto an holy temple in the Holy Spirit:
The body is fitly framed by the Word and grows by the Holy Spirit making it a holy temple in which for Him to dwell.

In whom you also are builded together for an habitation of the Holy Spirit.
Each of use is built by the Word and the Holy Spirit and are individual temples of the Holy Spirit.
