A Devotional for such a time as this: - from: Stanley, C. F. (2006). Pathways to his presence (p. 104). Nashville, TN: Thomas Nelson Publishers. ___________________________________ THE RICHES OF GOD’S GRACE SCRIPTURE READING: EPHESIANS 1:3–6 KEY VERSES: EPHESIANS 1:5–6 … having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved. Have you ever questioned your acceptability? Have you ever wondered if you are truly loveable? When God holds out His salvation to you, He is not extending a membership to an obscure club. He is inviting you to a profound, wonderful relationship that was made possible through His death on the cross. Ephesians 1:5–6 teaches us that God’s will was to adopt you as His own through the work of Christ. It was His will that your bond to Him be the strongest it could be, so He did it through the most precious relationship He has ever created: He is accepting you as His child. William E. Brown of Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary writes, “God is a father who graciously adopts believers in Christ into his spiritual family and grants them all the privileges of heirship. Salvation is much more than forgiveness of sins and deliverance from condemnation; it is also a position of great blessing. Believers are children of God.” The riches of God’s grace provide a wonderful family for you. God does not want a detached relationship. His desire is for deep communion, because He loves you with an overwhelming love. You are accepted by God and special to Him. Enjoy your position as His child. Lord, thank You for the riches of Your grace. Thank You that I have been adopted into Your family and that I am loved and accepted by You. - via Logos 5 #devotionalforsuchatimeasthis #christjesus #vineofchristministries #theword #studyscripture #god #biblestudy #bible #jesus #faith #dailydevotions #devotionals
