Ephesians 1:4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world….
Ephesians 1:4-6 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted us as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. to the praise of his glorious grace, which he freely give us in the one he loves
I honestly don’t believe we say this enough but God is So amazing. We all know that god is Omniscient and knows exactly what we are going to do because of his plan. Sometimes almost everytime we want something to go our way and doesnt we panic and worry. He clearly states that we were the choosen few in his body to be holy and blameless. I think about being holy and blameless and there is nothing I can do to recieve it accept but to believe and God and recieve in Jesus Christ as our savior. We are so lucky to be choosen to have that AMAZING GRACE!
Ephesians 1:11 In him we were also chosen having been predistined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will.
I see a lot of us take that for granted and say why am i going through this..why Do i feel this way…but realize that God knew you before you were born and knows the trials and struggles you are going through, past future and present. Amazing Grace! how Sweet the sound…..fereals!
Ephesians 1:16-19 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength
Noticed that Paul is praying for us, is communicating to God…realize we are sealed with the holy spirit the Gift from god. The same power that lifted Jesus from death is living in us giving us knowledge and discernment about everything and anything we do. Ephesians 1:19 “the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.” He makes it even clearer by saying we have the same riches as saints as long as we believe! But understand to believe is to obey and to obey is to love God with your WHOLE HEART. Every aspect of your life.
Ephesians 1:22 and God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way
First of all everything startes with Jesus as our foundation. and to say that “head over everything for the church, which is his body,” Realizing that the church is us, the christian, the saints, the choosen people we have to realize that everything we do has to glorify Jesus. Especially in our actions Matthew 15:11 “It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.” So I pray that you understand the seriousness and fullness of his commitment to us. That God knew us even before we became flesh and all our actions should be based on the decision we make with the discernment of the Holyspirit.
God Is Good..
