Eph 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
Eph 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
Eph 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
People may love each other and sit together, but often they separate and go their own way. Will God leave us? Will he tire of us? I like the last verse that gives us assurance. Eph 2:7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
He loved us apart from Jesus, he sent Jesus to die for our sins and by his grace he forgave our sins and we were made alive with him. We are connected to Jesus by the Spirit of God. By grace are we saved and we are risen together with Christ and we sit together with Christ in heavenly places. This is where we are spiritually even now, in Jesus. God is going to give of his exceeding grace and kindness toward us through Jesus Christ. All our hope and future is in Jesus. Because Jesus is God we are partakers of grace, much grace and we will not be rejected in our Lord Jesus Christ. We will receive kindness from our loving Father.
Let us who are in Jesus show his grace and kindness to others. Last night we were blessed in a reunion of friends from AOL chat days. There was much love in our room and the Lord was in our midst. We are together, with unity in Christ Jesus.
