And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

We are God's "workmanship". That word is, "poiema", and is often used in extrabiblical Greek to depict an artist's "masterpiece". We are God's masterpiece. By grace we've been saved and created as new creatures in Christ Jesus for good works, not by good works.

How can you not live for a God who loves you so and indwells your very being?

because people love themselves more than God even after realizing his love. As usual you must make it like all reformed doctrine irrisistible and that is not the case. Even knowing the love of God and dwelling in his presence they still can turn. Irrisistible Grace is another false doctrine.
