Hello friends,

 

I was studying the book of Ephesians and as I started it, I came to verse 4 it says; He has chosen us in Him (Jesus Christ) before the creation of the world to be blameless and holy.

He chose you, it does not matter who you are? What your family back ground is? What your educational qualification is? How much you earn every month? What is your skin color? Which place you belong to? Are you from a village or city? It does not really matter at all. God loved you and has chosen you.

When did God choose you?

Before the creation of the world. (Eph1:4)1 Pet 1:20: Before the foundations of earth was laid God prepared the lamb to be slain, meaning before Gen 1:1 Before the heavens and earth was created, before God opened His mouth and said let there be light, before God created all the creation, before God made man out dust and breathed into his nostrils, before Adam and Eve fell into sin. Bible says God chose you. Hallelujah!! God in His sovereignty knew everything what would happen so He prepared Jesus (a lamb).

Why were you Chosen?

To be blameless and holy. (Eph1:4)There was a man named Job. Bible says this man was blameless and upright, even God Almighty gave a testimony about him to Satan, in Job 1:8: God said to have you considered my servant Job? There is no-one on earth like him, he is blameless and upright, fears God and shuns evil, Wow! What a testimony? Isn’t it?

If God had to tell about you, what will He tell?
God’s ultimate purpose for us as is to be transformed in the likeness of His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus walked the earth as human like you and me. Bible says that Jesus too was tempted in every way like you and me but He was without sin!

If you want to live a holy and blameless life then I think these things will help you:
1. Fearing God
2. Hating sin and fleeing from sin
3. Always being online with God (connected)
4. Desiring for Holiness

Note: Put Jesus in your position and think what Jesus would do. And then do according to Him.

As you read and understand God’s ultimate purpose for your life, I pray that the Spirit of God will overtake you and help you to overcome your weaknesses and shortcomings. And a new desire to live a life that is pleasing to the Master may grow in you. In Jesus name. Amen

God Bless you
