Ephesians 1:7-10 In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding. And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times have reached their fulfillment to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.

God is working his purpose out not just in your life and mine but in his whole creation. His aim is “to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.” This brief blog post can only serve to help you understand how God has already made provision for you as an individual to be “in Christ”.

He has provided redemption through Christ. Redemption for anything of worth is costly. Our redemption has been paid for by Christ’s blood. Our acknowledgement of this brings forgiveness of sins. These blessings have been lavished on us by God out of his wisdom and understanding that we could in no other way atone for our rebellion against him.

The mystery of God’s will has been made known – it is in his Word and Christ is the central theme literally from Genesis to Revelation. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. ” “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.” His disciples testified: “We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:1-2 and verse 14).  Jesus then returned to his Father and has fulfilled the promise to send the Holy Spirit who is now ministering in the earth to the Church and individual believers. There is a time line with God. Where are we on this time line?   How about Matthew 24? Dig into the Scriptures and let it speak to you day by day so you can discern what your part is in this great drama of God.
