All Spiritual Blessings

(Ephesians 4:17-32) Christ will take you just as you are, but He doesn't leave you that way.  It's impossible for the Creator God of the universe, the God of perfect light and holiness, to move into a heart and that heart not experience change.  The change that Christ brings is the best change! In today's passage we learn of practical areas where Christ changes us. (05508211210) 

(Ephesians 4:7-16) We all need the Lord, but God has made it so that we also  need one another.  We are dependent on Christ and we are interdependent on each other.  How can we love the head (Christ) when we don't love the body (church)?  Don't take for granted what you have through Christ in His church! (05507211209) 

(Ephesians 4:1-6) Someone once said that churches are more like goat pens than sheepfolds because the people are always butting heads.  It's not supposed to be that way!  Even so, unity is not our goal.  Unity is the byproduct of being in step with the Holy Spirit.  May God help us to humbly submit to the Spirit so that we may enjoy unity in the bond of peace.

(Ephesians 3:20-21) God's power is able to do the impossible.  It's abundant enough to accomplish more than we can ask or think.  It's aim or purpose is to reveal the glory of God.  When we pray and when we serve, especially in the church, are we seeking the power of God so that His glory is revealed or do we have other motives?

(Ephesians 3:14-19) If you're going to know, understand, and appreciate Divine Love, you have to know God.  In a world of hatred and cheap substitutes for love, the only way to know the genuine article is to know God himself and allow the God of love to work in you.  God's love touches every part of life. Ask the Lord to help you experience and comprehend more the unsearchable love of God in Christ Jesus. (05504211206) 

(Ephesians 3:1-13) Can you think of anything we need more in these times than God's wisdom?  Sin, at it's core, is ignorance of God.  Salvation, at it's core, is the wisdom of God - leaving the insanity of sin and coming into Divine Wisdom.  God's infinite wisdom is effectual, unsearchable, eternal, and, understandable by faith.  What a tremendous spiritual blessing it is!

(Ephesians 2:18-22) The word "Trinity" is not found in the Bible, but the thrice-holy God is.  The Godhead is the Biblical expression for the trinity.  Ephesians is full of the doctrine of the trinity, and knowing the Triune God is one of the great spiritual blessings we enjoy. (05502211202) 

(Ephesians 2:1-17) God wants you to live today in His grace, in His victory, in His power, believing that yesterday is under the blood and tomorrow is hopeful because of Jesus Christ.  He is the God of all time who is greater than our past, gives life in the present, and provides hope for the future! (05501211201)
