But even more, it prompted me to think of Paul, who in Ephesians reminds us of the spiritual identity of those trusting in Christ.
The faithful in Christ Jesus are:
blessed with every spiritual blessing (1:3),
chosen in Him (1:4),
holy and blameless before Him (1:4),
adopted as sons (1:5),
redeemed (1:7),
forgiven (1:7),
lavished with the riches of His grace (1:7-8),
sealed with the Holy Spirit (1:13),
alive in Christ (2:5),
saved by grace (2:5),
His workmanship (2:10),
reconciled to God (2:16)...
Indeed, He IS able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think (3:20)! To Him be the glory.
