Reflection on Ephesians 1:1-14

Scripture
He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

Observation
Before He made the world, God decided to adopt us into His family. He has poured out His grace upon us, purchasing our freedom with the blood of Christ.

Everything in the whole of creation will be brought under the authority of Christ. Because we are united with Christ we have an inheritance in Him.

God’s plan was to unite Jewish and Gentile believers together. As the sign that we belong to Him, He gave us the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of our salvation.

Application
It is so easy to underestimate God’s grace or to limit it to salvation. The fact is that God has poured out , and continues to pour out, blessing after blessing into our lives.

We were chosen from before the world began to be a part of God’s family, and He gives us the Holy Spirit as a sign of our identity in Christ. This is a guarantee that we will receive our inheritance in Him.

The overflowing abundant grace of God never runs out.

Prayer
Help me to appreciate, Lord, how great is your love for me. Amen.
