KEY SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 3:2 ” If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:”
Please read Ephesians 3:1-10
We would consider the grace of God as revealed to the elect of God as well as some of the benefits of this grace. From Eph 1: 5, by the grace of God, we have been predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself according to the good pleasure of His will”.
To be adopted as a son means to be placed as a full-grown son of God whereby, we have received full rights of His Son Jesus Christ. This adoption makes us joint heirs with the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 8:17. This implies we share a hundred percent access to the power and authority Jesus has.
Apostle Paul writing by the inspiration of the Spirit describes this grace as a fellowship of the mystery which from the beginning of the world has been hidden in God. Ephesians 3:9.
Is it not a mystery that He that is joined to the Lord Jesus is one spirit with him”? 1st Corinthians 6:17. Is it also not a mystery to be seated together with our Lord Jesus in heavenly places far above all principalities and power?
What an act of love demonstrated to us that “now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God” God has so elevated us that, the powers and authorities in the spirit realm would come to know the many-sided wisdom of God, through you and I, that is the church.
Our Father God, through our Lord Jesus, has made us a wonder. All these are not a result of anything we have done, nor anything we have or are. It is purely after the good pleasure of His will.
This amazing grace has also made us who were enemies in our minds to be reconciled to the Father, such that ” in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, unblameable and unreprovable in His sight”. You have been made holy, unblameable, and unreprovable in His sight. You are in Christ, sharing His nature and state, so God sees you just like His Son Jesus. This makes you Holy, unblameable, and unreprovable.
Please throw away from your mind, the sin consciousness and the guilt consciousness and accept that, through the Lord Jesus, you are now a Holy, unblameable, and unreprovable person, acting like Jesus.
CONFESSION
This grace bestowed on me is beyond my conception, what a love, what a favour, and what an honour. I respond with all my heart to love Him and live totally for Him.
THOUGHT: INDEED THROUGH CHRIST JESUS , WE HAVE RECEIVED GRACE UPON GRACE
