To the Praise of His Glory!

Eph. 1:14b

...to the praise of His glory.

Such amazing blessings abound for the believer:

• The father has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.
• He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world to be holy and blameless before Him.
• In love, He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ according to His will. and to the praise of His grace He blessed us in the Beloved. 
• In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to His grace.
• In Christ is wisdom, insight, and grace, all to show us the mystery of His will.
• This mystery is the plan to unite all things in Him, in heaven and on earth. 
• In Him we have an inheritance.
• In Him we are sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, our guarantee until we acquire it.

These blessings are only in and through Jesus Christ. What a great Savior! It truly is horrendous to think of life without Christ: no spiritual blessings, no being chosen, no adoption, no redemption or forgiveness, no wisdom, insight and grace, no unity with heaven, no inheritance, and no seal of the Spirit. We would be stripped of all that is meaningful and lasting in out lives. How amazing is His great grace! And all to the praise of His glory! 

Father,

What a glorious list is this! My heart is full of praise and thanksgiving. Make me aware of who and what I am as I live each day.

In His name,

Amen
