Good Morning “Before Chosen.” Today we start Ephesians. Have a look at chapter 1.
We know that no one comes to the Father unless he is called. That it is only through Jesus - He is “The Way, The Truth and The Life.” So… if you know Jesus you can be encouraged that you were chosen… way back!
“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 for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.”
Ephesians 1:4-6 NIV
He chose you! Not just to remain how you are but to grow up in Jesus - to look more like Him! He adopted us - all to His praise and Glory! It’s all an act of His Grace, which means we did nothing to deserve it! It was all through His Son Jesus who He loves!
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace”
Ephesians 1:7 NIV
It’s all through Jesus! We are redeemed, bought back, no longer enslaved to sin and destined for eternal suffering! What a blessing! It’s reasonable then, to expect us to offer ourselves to Him. Romans 12:1.
We know the things of the world are empty, but the things of God is the good stuff! Seems like an easy choice. If you find yourself holding back, and lacking desire, pray for it! If loving, and serving Jesus and others doesn’t sound appealing - be brave enough to pray He’d put that desire in you! If you’re sincere, He’ll do it! It’s a prayer He wants to answer. How do I know… it’s what we were made for.
Dig in! Love you all!
