23 August 2015 Ps Andrew Harper - Ephesians pt 3

 - Our identity  in Christ is fundamental for our life.

 - In Christ we are made higher than the Angels, and all other beings.

Ephesians 1:9 - The mysteries of his will.

 - Predestination can be a mystery to us.

 - We are predestined to rule/ reign with Christ in Heaven.

1:11 - God is in control, and is in our future. God knows all! our sin is no surprise to him, and God can turn that/any situation into good.

1:12 - Our response to God, should be to praise God for his Glory. That's why we're eternally changed. And that is what the enemy sees on us, (Gods seal), (our guarantee), as part of Gods family.

 - When we pray, we need to do so with the authority of Gods guarantee.

1:15 - When you do things for God, and you are faithful, you are appreciated by God.

1:17 - When praying, we should be giving thanks to God.

 - If our revelation of Christ dissipates, things can become much harder in our lives, until we renew ourselves in Christ.

 - With wisdom and knowledge of Christ, we are protected from the enemy.

 - We should pray that people become enlightened to Gods glory.

 - We need to know we can have hope in our Eternity.

 - When we volunteer at our church, we don't do it for now, but for our eternity. (Serving the body of Christ).

* - WE ARE LIVING FOR OUR ETERNITY!
