April 14 – Ephesians 2:4-7
Ephesians 2:4-7
Never lose the wonder of your salvation. It would do us good every day just to sit down, lift up our hearts and say, “Oh God, thank you for the wonder of my salvation.” Never take that miracle for granted. This is the way Paul describes the miracle wonder of salvation in Ephesians 2:4-7. Listen to the Word of God. “But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ (by grace you are saved), and has raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” I like that little phrase.
Two words, “but God” in the previous verses Paul described that we were dead in trespasses and sins, we were disobedient, we were children of wrath, we were living for the world, the flesh and the devil. “But God, God who is rich.” I like the attributes of God and the characteristics of His work that are described here, “Rich in mercy,” “great in love.” He has given to us the “riches of His grace, His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.” Just look at Ephesians 2:4-7.
We have a new life. He has made us alive in Christ. A new union; we are together with Christ, united to Him. A new position; raised us up to sit together with Christ. Oh made alive together, raised together, sitting together and what a wonderful future we have, “That in the ages to come He might reveal the exceeding riches of His grace.”
What more could we want? A new life, a new union, a new position, a new hope, a new future; and all of this through the riches of His mercy, the riches of His grace, the greatness of His love and the exceeding kindness of God toward us in the Lord Jesus Christ. Today bask in the marvel of your salvation!
