Friday November 3
Bible Reading: Eph. 1: 1 - 14
Topic: Know Who You Are
In v. 3 ff, we are told that
we are the "Chosen of God"
Before the creation of the
World, God chose us in Christ Jesus to be a family set apart for His Glory.
But how did this happen?
He purchased our freedom
from sin and condemnation through the shedding of the blood of His Beloved Son
Jesus Christ.
Why did Christ do this?
So that we should be holy and blameless before Him, set apart for God's use as
instruments of change in our World.
How can we live up the
standards?
God has given us His Holy Spirit to confirm by His Presence in us that we are
children of God (Rom. 8: 14) and as His seal of promise, that we will inherit
all that God has promised us.
Do you realize the great
priviledge there is in being made a member of the family of God through Jesus
Christ and knowing that one day, you will finally inherit the glory of eternal
life with Jesus Christ?
Prayer
My Father, thank You for my redemption through the Blood
of Jesus Christ. Grant that by the Power of the Holy Spirit, I will live my
life each day as someone set apart for Your Own Use, I pray in Jesus Name,
Amen.
Memory Verse Eph. 1: 11
"In Whom also we have
obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him
Who worketh all things after the Counsel of His Own Will."
