Bible Reading: Eph. 2: 1 - 10
Topic: Raised Up With Christ To Sit
In The Heavenly Realms
Paul reminds us in this
passage today before Jesus saved us, we were living disobedient lives that
missed the mark of God's righteous standard.
He reminds us too that
without God, we crave the wrong and forbidden things and end up surrendering to
satan who becomes our master and who finally leads us to our eternal
destruction.
This conforms to Jesus
declaration in John 10: 10 that satan comes but "to steal, to kill and to
destroy" only God's great grace and merciful intervention through Jesus'
sacrifice on the Cross brings abundant life.
But God did not just save
us, He has united us with Christ in the Heavenly Places out of the reach of our
enemy, satan and his cohorts.
And all this is by grace
so no one should boast. Moreover God saved us so we can do good works on His
behalf and in gratitude we should wholly dedicate our lives to His service.
Are you showing your gratitude
to God by the way you live and serve?
Prayer
Loving Father, thank You
for lifting me from the miry pit of sin and setting me upon the Solid Rock. May
I always live my life to praise and work for You in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Eph. 2: 6
"And hath raised us
up together and made us sit together in the Heavenly Places in Christ Jesus."
