Ephesians 2:

The Bible says we all lived at one time gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature, dead in our sins and the followed the ways of the world………. So true.

But the Bible also says “But, because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in our transgressions – it is by grace you have been saved.”

What a beautiful gift. We see again that He loved us before we loved Him. Wow. And we can’t do it without him. It is by His grace. It isn’t by any works or how “good” we are. It is ONLY because of His Love for us.

The one we need to be boasting about is Him. Again, it starts with Him. It isn’t by anything we could make up, do, say…….nothing.

Receive the gift again today. A fresh fall of his grace be on our lives. A fresh revelation of who He is and what He has done and what He wants to do. We are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus.

It starts by receiving Him by grace and being made alive in Him.

Church……..it doesn’t mean 4 walls, it means us who have been made alive, we are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens. Christ is our cornerstone.

My prayer today, let the Lord be our cornerstone, ask what that looks like in our lives and let a fresh infilling of His grace be in our lives today 🙂

Blessings!

Hey all……

I am reading Ephesians.  And I don’t want to just read it.  I want to meditate on it and have once again God change me into what He desires.  I would love to hear from everyone their thoughts on Ephesians as well.  Iron sharpens iron and I love that phrase because it really is true.  And someone’s revelation can be life-changing for the next.  God made us one body and He desires that we act like a body that functions together in unity.

Chapter 1:

I am once again reminded that it ALL starts with Him.  In fact, it starts, continues and ends with Him.  It is all about Him and it is ONLY through Him and In HIm that we truly are anything and it is TRULY nothing about ourselves.

Not our looks, wisdom, smarts, and/or good behavior.  It is about Jesus.  It is ONLY through HIM that we are offered forgiveness.  Because of His scarifice, we are free, but not just free, ABUNDANTLY free.  His death isn’t in vain.  He desires us to walk in freedom.

It is in Him, that we find our identity and who we are.  He has settled on us as His focus of love.  What a beautiful love story.  Anyone looking for love.  Look for Jesus.

Anyone want to know who they are……trying to find yourself?  Look to Jesus

Anyone struggling to see find their place?  Talk to Jesus

Accept His gift of love, it is unconditional and beautiful and He will show you the way, step by step.

Start with Jesus and stay in Jesus  🙂  …..

 

Looking forward to your thoughts!

 

God bless!
