Love of Christ Which Passes Knowledge

“…to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God” Ephesians 3:19. 

Love of Christ is far more powerful than any other power in this world. It can melt the toughest and hardest hearts. The most evil men give up their evil ways in the face of Jesus who loves unconditionally. The world turned their backs to Christ, rejected Him, spat on Him, yet the last words that came out of Jesus before His death were: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Of course, not everybody kneels before Him, but His hands are still stretched towards them. He is ready to forgive, accept and make anybody part of Heavenly family. Let’s embrace His love.

Christ Lives Inside Through Faith

“…that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…” Ephesians 3:17. 

Becoming a Christian is one thing and staying one is another. Converting to Christianity is a single experience and living a Christian life is a daily challenge. We may often forget that being a Christian is really imitating Christ, believing His teaching and following it. If you want final authority on any question you have you need to address to Jesus words. Go to the gospels and try to see what He said regarding this or that question. Jesus’ words are a Supreme Court in your life. Believe His Words and practice them in life. Easier said than done? Yah, but Jesus did not promise us an easy life. But it will surely be interesting.

Unsearchable Riches of Christ

“To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, this grace was given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ…” Ephesians 3:8. 

In the first and second chapters of Ephesians Paul clearly showed us the riches of Christ. He showed us full scope of redemption. He gave us all possible blessings, cleansed us with His blood, adopted us, accepted us in Him, forgave our sins, gave us wisdom and prudence through Him, gave us inheritance, sealed us with His Holy Spirit, seated us in Heavenly places with Him and many more…Wow! He deserves all the glory for that.

Fellow Heirs

“…that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His promise in Christ through the gospel” Ephesians 3:6. 

I am so happy that God chose to save all the nations of the world and through Jesus he opened the gates of Heaven to anybody who chooses to repent and accept Him as Lord and Savior. God is not partial. He accepts everybody. It does not matter whether you come from the richest or the poorest, the biggest or the smallest nation of the world, whether your parents were rich or poor. You can be your son and daughter. You can be the most or least educated person, God loves you anyway.

Dwelling place of the Holy Spirit

“…in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit” Ephesians 2:22.

A tremendous miracle happened when Jesus died and rose from the dead. It was something that had been prophesied thousands of years ago, waited for by the saints of the Old Testament and planned by God Almighty for everyone. God sent His precious Holy Spirit to us to stay with us and live in us. We became the dwelling place of God Almighty. Jesus’ blood cleansed us from inside and we became God’s residence. What a privilege! The One Who created heavens and earth, the universe, everything that is alive and by Whose Word all universe is being upheld as well as all other forces of nature: He lives in you. Shout amen somebody!

No more strangers or foreigners

“Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God…” Ephesians 2:19. 

This is unbelievable news! Well, you have to believe it though. We are God’s sons and daughters. Satan is no longer our father. No more! God has become Father to us. Imagine, you have the same status in God’s eyes as: Abraham, Moses, Peter, Paul and other saints. We are all brothers and sisters now with the saints of Old and New Testaments. And all that is because Jesus sacrificed Himself. Embrace His sacrifice, enjoy your rights as a member of God’s family, thank Him for the gift of eternal life and share it with others.
