For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them.
All Commentaries on Ephesians 2:10 Go To Ephesians 2
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He does not say “so that we might begin” but “so that we should walk”—all the way. For walking is a metaphor that suggests continuance, extending to the end of our lives. Suppose we had to walk a road that leads to a royal city, but after having gone almost all the way we grow faint almost at the end and stop. We would then have no profit. Instead Paul says we are created “for good works.” .
