You Were On His Mind!
Saturday, March 17, 2018Today we'll simply let Paul speak!
Ephesians 1
“3May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) *Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm!”
“4Even as [in His love] *He chose us [actually picked us out for Himself as His own] in Christ before the foundation of the world, *that we should be holy (consecrated and set apart for Him) and blameless in His sight, even above reproach, before Him in love."
"5For *He foreordained us (destined us, planned in love for us) to be adopted (revealed) as His own children through Jesus Christ, in accordance with the purpose of His will [bbecause it pleased Him and was His kind intent]—”
He knew you before He created anything-you are not an accident! HE CHOSE YOU TO BE HIS VERY OWN!
He saw you, and so does now see you, in Christ! When He looks upon you He sees Jesus!
Because of His wondrous love He sees you holy and without blame!
Through Christ He has now fully adopted you to be His very own child!
Now that's too good to be true news! That's the Gospel of God! I love you all very much!(NLM)
