Bible Reading: Eph. 1: 3 - 14
Topic: We Are Predestined To Eternal Life
Through Christ
The letter to the
Ephesians develops the theme of unity by mentioning the way in which God the
Father had chosen us as His People. how we have been forgiven and set free from
our sins through Jesus Christ His Son and how God's promise of eternal
salvation has been fulfilled for us by the Holy Spirit.
God kept His eternal plan
a secret from the foundation of the World and at the appointed time, He has
revealed it through His Son through Whom He chose those who believed to be His
own adopted sons and who belong to His family. He gave such the rights of
inheritance having been accepted in the beloved of Christ.
The ignorance of our
position and inheritance in Christ is one major problem of many Christians. God
has called us and blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places.
In v. 8 we read that
"He has showered His kindness on us, along with all wisdom and
understanding".
Lastly, because we trusted in Him, when we heard the
Word of Truth, we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise which is the
guarantee of our inheritance.
What else do we need?
We are encouraged to
constantly remember and appropriate the blessings God has attached to our
choice to be holy and blameless and predestined to salvation through Christ
forever.
Let us not lose sight of
our great inheritance in and through Christ
Prayer
O God, give to me and
renew me daily by Your Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of
Christ, Amen.
Memory Verse Eph. 1: 3
"Blessed be the God, and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places in Christ."
