We have been looking at Ephesians 1:1-10, meditating on what God has done for us.
I know that having been disabled most of my life, I often feel unworthy. This chapter is such an encouragement. We see that it is all on Christ’s work, not on what we do.
“1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:
2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,”
He has chosen us, adopted us. We are adding two verses today.
“6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”
To the praise of the glory of His grace, He accepted us in the beloved. We have redemption and forgiveness by the riches of His grace.
Wow. My heart rejoices! Regardless of our physical ability or inability or what we have done, God’s grace and Jesus’ sacrifice covers it all and makes us worthy.
