Welcome

Welcome to my blog. I am happy you have decided to visit. I will do my best to keep it up. Most of my posts will be bible related and I hope that they are true and encouraging.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as we share abundantly in Christ's sufferings, so through Christ we share abundantly in comfort too. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5

Journey Through Ephesians # 3 (2: 1-10)

When you read the first 10 verses of this chapter, it sounds somewhat like a spiritual autobiography for the believer .

Verses (1-3) (Your past)
Verses (4-6,8-9) (your present)
Verses (7,10) (Your future)

What struck me the most in this passage is the word "Workmanship" This word actually means poem. So a saved soul is God's work of art. Well what do we do with a piece of art that we are proud of? We hang it on a wall to show off, for everyone to see. But what is shown off? You have to look at verse 7 for the answer. "He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus"  Verse 10 sums it up. We were saved yes by Grace alone, but for doing "Good Works". These good works were prepared beforehand. It seems to me that He has it all figured out. We just need to learn to trust in Him as He teaches us to walk "In Him"
