Reflection on Ephesians 1:1-14

Scripture
To the praise of his glorious grace which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

Observation
God has blessed us with every blessing in Christ. He chose us before time began, predestined to be adopted through Christ.

In Christ we have redemption- forgiveness of sins. He lavished his grace upon us,

We have been included in Christ because of the Father's plan. When we believed in Christ we received the Holy Spirit as a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance.

Application
God's grace is without limit. He lavishes it upon us. Sometimes we think of God doling out blessings almost begrudgingly, by the teaspoon. But God is lavishing his grace upon us, freely and extravagantly.

Don't be deceived into thinking that God doesn't care about you or that you are missing out . He does not withhold any grace from those who love Him.

Prayer
Thank you Lord for your great grace which you lavish on me every day. Open the eyes of my heart to see your blessings and to praise you for them. Amen.
