God's Glory Church

“In Him we became heirs, having been appointed… to the praise of His glory.” — Ephesians 1:11-12

“Christianity is not for me. It’s boring. But I love adventures. What a life without them!” – said a young woman to me. It is sad that she knew nothing about the joy and excitement that a person who follows Christ feels. This is truly an adventure like no other. With inspiration, I told her about the Savior and how we find true life in Him.

Ordinary words are not enough to describe the miracle of knowing the Son of God and living with Him. In the Epistle to the Ephesians, the apostle Paul speaks in short but powerful words about the essence of Christianity. God directly from heaven gives us many spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3), including holiness and blamelessness in His eyes (v. 4), as well as adoption into the family of the King of heaven (v. 5). He generously gifts us with forgiveness and grace (v. 7-8), knowledge of the mystery of His will (v. 9) and a new life “to the praise of His glory” (v. 12). The Holy Spirit dwells in us, who guides and bestows His power (v. 13). Finally, God guarantees us a blissful eternity in His presence (v. 14).

When Jesus Christ enters our lives, we discover that knowing Him and following Him is the greatest adventure. Let us seek Him today and every day.

How would you describe life with Christ? Who can you tell about this?

Lord Jesus, thank you for loving me and always walking by my side. You have given me more than I can imagine. I love to be in communication with You and tell others about You.
