 Shalom,

We read Ephesians 2 in our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan for today and verses 4-6 tell us what wonderful things GOD has done for US!

4 But God—so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, 5 Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). 6 And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

HALLELUJAH! What great GOOD NEWS this is! And WHY did He do this? Verse 7:

He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favor) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.

I would encourage you to read more in the Epistles, which are letters that were written to the churches explaining to them this NEW and BETTER Covenant that born again believers have with the One, True God! We CANNOT walk in what we DO NOT KNOW! SO, let's get the knowledge of who we are IN HIM so that we can walk in it, showing off HIM to the world! That IS why were are here, so let's be about our Father's business! HE is cxounting on us! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "Who You Say I Am":

Shalom in Him!
