This powerful scripture summarizes the main focus of this book. That is that we are all sinners who need a “Savior,” and in fact, can only be saved through the grace of God. Putting faith in Jesus, who went willingly to the cross to pay for our sins; we are then able to be brought into a full relationship with our Almighty and loving Father, God.
This first chapter of Ephesians goes on to illustrate that we as believers, are blessed by God. It explains God’s overall plan to redeem His children by the ultimate sacrifice, His Son Jesus Christ. Thereby we will be forgiven our sins, which are plenty!
We all fall short, as we are all sinners. If we were perfect, we wouldn’t be needing a “Savior” or need the grace of God to cleanse us by Christ’s blood.
As we go through our journey on earth. As we endeavor to fulfill our purpose and will for our lives, according to the LORD, we mustn’t forget the Grace under which we live. Nor forget the “gift” from our Father above, washing us clean and therefore “gifting” our salvation and promise of eternity, through Christ alone.
All gifts come from the “Father of lights.”
All of the love lavished upon us, comes from above, and it is truly a gift.
Taking the time to read scriptures, meditate on His Word, and give thanks to all we do, seems small recompense as to what our LORD has done for us.
Worshipping and exalting Him, daily throughout the day, is a pleasure and an honor, acknowledging Him in all we do, and acquiescing to His will, is a joy and fulfillment which surpasses all else.
Have you given thanks today to the One and Only Always and forever?
If not, what are you waiting for?
“Father, I give You and You alone, all glory and honor, I wish to please You today and always, and I want to do all according to Your will and purpose for my life, may I be pleasing to You, may I never cease to give You thanks, and may I walk in witness to Your glory, forever, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
