We are all fear something. That fear is either motivating or paralyzing. A healthy fear of God motivates us to live a godly life and the desire to avoid corruption. An unhealthy fear of man, loss, discomfort, and the unknown paralyzes us from living.

Paul referred to the church as a mystery. He knew that God had given him the privilege of being a part of this mystery and to pass it on to others. He also knew that he was not deserving or worthy of this privilege, it was only because of God's love and grace. Nothing was more important to Paul than to live and give his life to make Jesus known and see the church triumphant. It should be just as important to us today because of God's love and grace in our lives.

The church, the body of Christ, a multitude of people saved by God's grace, made into one group of redeemed people, has a destiny to grow. No matter how the enemy of our soul has opposed this growth throughout the ages and continues to do so, the Church will be triumphant!

We often identify ourselves with our sinful past rather than our sanctified future. What was true about us before we made Jesus our Savior and Lord is not true about us today. Once we were dead in our trespasses and sins but now we walk in newness of life because of what Jesus has done for us.

The way we can have a fulfilling and meaningful life as a follower of Jesus, is to understand who He is. As we grow in our knowledge of Him, we also come to understand who we are. In these verses, Paul shows us how to get and stay connected to God and how to experience a vibrancy in our relationship with Him.

The Apostle Paul spells out three categories of blessings from what the Father has done in the past, to the work of Jesus in the present, to the work of the Holy Spirit in the future. Who we are in Christ and His work in our lives to bring about His will, are in separable.

God chose us in spite of who we are, that we might showcase His forgiveness and and the grace He has lavished upon us. His grace never ceases to be amazing, lets share it with others so they can experience it too.

Sometimes we may not understand or appreciate just how good God is. Psalm 107:43 tells us that the wise person is the one that understands the lovingkindness of our God. For those who don't have a relationship with the Lord, have no idea of how truly good our God is. We must share His goodness with those who yet do not know.

The Biblical purpose of Sanctuary, why we need to seek it out and how our lives will be transformed by making Jesus our Sanctuary.

Isaiah gives us a beautiful picture of a future that awaits all believers. A new heaven and a new earth, where the chaos and pain of this world will be forgotten. There will be no sounds of crying or weeping, only sounds of joy and rejoicing. What a promise of hope!!
