Study Note
'For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.' The Greek 'poiēma' (workmanship) is the word from which the English 'poem' derives, suggesting that believers are God's artistic creation — a handiwork expressing his craftsmanship. The verse immediately follows Ephesians 2:8-9's statement that salvation is not by works, making the theological sequence precise: saved apart from works → created for works. Pre-ordained good works are not meritorious causes of salvation but the designed purpose of those who receive it — works as vocation rather than transaction.
