This is Michael De Rosa and I will be looking at Ephesians 1:11,
11 Furthermore, because we are united with Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us in advance, and he makes everything work out according to his plan.
I got an inheritance once. It seemed like a lot of money, and I did use it on worthwhile endeavors, but it is all used up.
Our inheritance from God, though, lasts forever…because we are united with Christ
- Being spiritual does not secure for us an inheritance.
- Church attendance will not allow us into Heaven.
- Ministry that serves others well will not grant us an eternal home with God
Nothing will…except being united with Jesus -which necessitates doing life His way.
- It means that our plans are set aside for His plans.
- It entails being mindful that our words are grace-filled to whomsover…regardless of he situation.
- And, if you fail, His plan took care of that too. Will you, though, ask for forgiveness and humbly be restored to the blessed unity found in Christ?
This is what God choose us for. This is His plan.
