Created in Christ Jesus, recreated in Christ Jesus, a new creature/creation (1Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15).
The new creation is created in Christ Jesus.
We're created unto good works.
I'm created unto good works.
In Christ Jesus, I'm created unto good works that God has before ordained that I should walk in.
Good is "Agathos" in the Greek. It means "good, benefit, well, goods".
Works is "Ergon". It means "act, deed, doing, labour, work". From "ergo-" which is work/toil as an effort or occupation. Remember ergonomics?
There are good works, beneficial deeds pre-ordained, made ready by God for me to do, to walk in them.
The Father works (John 5:17), Jesus worked (on earth) & still works in heaven (John 9:4 & Hebrews 7:25), the Spirit worked in Jesus & works now in us (John 14:10 & Philippians 2:13), so I work, so we work! We work the Father's pre-ordained good works, just as Jesus worked the Father's works.
