Ephesians 1:4 NKJV
MESSAGE
God chose you before the foundation of the world. You are not a mistake and you exist for His eternal glory. In His divine plan for humanity, God knew you. Your role in humanity was carefully crafted even when you have no Idea.
The fact that you are saved is a result of His eternal counsel. The Bible says that you are predestined to be saved and share in His eternal glory.
Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. Romans 8:30 NKJV
No Christian is saved because of his or her power, but by the power of God that quickens the dead. Jesus said, No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:44 NKJV
You are called by His grace into the liberty of Jesus Christ. He did this for you while you even before you were conceived.
“Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them”. Psalms 139:16 NKJV
You may be like Zacchaeus the tax collector today, but God can see you from where you are. He longs to grant you His salvation if only you will run to Him. Stop hiding under the cover of your sin; expose and repent from all your sins today.
God loved you and that’s why Jesus died in your place. Why not open the door of your heart and let Him? (Revelation 3:20). There is no secrete hidden before Him, simply come clean and ask Him to save you from sin. According to our text of the day, God wants you to be holy and without blame before Him.
Everything has been done, the price was paid for your sins, just come to Jesus as you are He will give rest to your soul (Matthew 11:28-29).
