Sept. 30 - Oct. 4/05 Ephesians 2: 1-10 - Ephesians 3
Paul tells us that we were dead to God in our trespasses and sin, but because God is
merciful, in our faith in Jesus Christ we become alive and His children.
Ephesians 2: 8-10 are especially important because it stresses that we come to Him through faith not by
works. But by faith in Jesus Christ we would do His bidding.
In Ephesians 2:11-18 Paul tells us that there is no difference between Jew and Gentile because God so loved us all that He
allowed Christ by His blood to save us through faith and brought us through Christ into Gods
covenant with Abraham that all His children would be at peace in Christ.
I am not blind to the differences of the people of our world ,but glory in them, the
planning of God is beyond my imagining how boring the world would be without them.
One of the things I have always thanked God for is that difference. Every child of God brings something interesting to Him and us, because of these
differences sometimes someone can else can see things in God's word that I would miss.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

In Ephesians 3: 1-12 Paul talks about the mystery of Christ in previous generations. The mystery is revealed to us in 1 Peter 3:18-22, Christ died to pay for all of our sins, when we
believe in Him.
Now think of the word believe = Be Alive, be alive in Christ. When we are alive in Christ we are alive to our Father God, and a part of His
divine plan.
Paul was made a minister to us by God through the Holy Spirit, so that we could become a part of Gods
divine plan . In Ephesians 3:11 he states that "This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord", and access through faith in Him.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Because we have so many new members on Christ in pogo ( thank you Heavenly Father) I
feel that I should tell you again that all the things I write about are my thoughts on my
belief in Our Lord. If I make a mistake please call me on it, I believe there is always someone with more
knowledge out there and the Holy Spirit will prompt them to lead you in the way you should go.
In Ephesians 3: 17 - 21 Paul tells us of the depth of Christ's love for us , all of us talk about
unconditional love , but being human there is no such thing , by ourselves, only through Christ can we even come close.
In Ephesians 3: 20 Paul talks about the works we do in Christ's name, that we all serve according to the power that
works within us. But if we can step out in faith and go beyond our fears and failings all the glory will be to God in Jesus Christ to all generations forever. This is such an awesome promise I have a problem comprehending it.
In Ephesians 4 Paul talks about our walk and service with Christ , as believers. I have to read more and pray more before I can write on this , but it is very exciting.
GOD BLESS YOU AND HOLD YOU IN HIS ARMS
