Devotional: Ephesians 1:3-10

Today’s passage: Ephesians 1:3-10

Helpful thoughts:

  • There has been a plan from before the foundations of the earth to unite all things in Jesus Christ.
    • If you are in Christ (If you are saved), you are and always were a part of that grand plan!
  • Christians were predestined to become God’s children through adoption in love.
  • All of this loving planning and working has been done by God for the praise of His glorious grace!

Questions to consider:

  1. Does this grand plan for glory seem to focus on you and me, or on someone else?  (Not so subtle hint: It’s not about you!) Who deserves all the honor, glory and praise?  Who gets the pleasure and joy of glorying in and praising Jesus Christ?
  2. Did God choose you because you chose Him – OR – Did you choose God because He chose you?
  3. Where does unity come from?  What (Or better…WHO) is the source, means and goal of our unity?
