Ephesians 1:4
For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
Thoughts:
In him. Those two little words don’t qualify as a sentence, but they speak volumes about the meaning of life; the very heart of Christianity and of the gospel message. Paul’s letter to the Christians in Ephesus is certainly one of the most encouraging, inspiring and helpful books in the New Testament. I love to read from Ephesians when I need to rewind my mind or jump-start my heart… to remember the encouraging reality of what God has purposed and accomplished through Jesus Christ – in him.
Take a minute to absorb these truths, be encouraged and get centered, so to speak.
