Introduction;
I am stepping out in faith, am going to write a series of devotions on the book of Ephesians. I hope you will follow along, as we go through this great book.
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God
WHAT A CALLING
Why are we Christians at all?
Why are we in the place we are?
Why for example, am I in China?
We are Christians, because God has chosen and called us, he has called us to serve him and to be his children.
The reason is his will.
Paul was a Pharisee, he was an educated man, who didn't ever imagine, he would be a preacher of the gospel.
But he became an apostle, by the WILL OF GOD.
We are, what we are, because of the will of God.
Praise God that he has set you apart and placed you in a unique place.
To be called a child of God and called into his service, is the highest privilege in the world.
Let's never complain of who we are and where we are, because it is by the will of God.
Thanks

1 To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus
SET APART ONE
In the first devotion, we saw that we are, what we are, because of the will of God.
So, what are we:
We are saints, literally, set apart ones. God has set us apart for himself, he has personally chosen us. That is so amazing.
They are in Ephesus, of all the places to start a church, this must have been one of the most difficult, full of idol worship, black magic and the like, but in that place, God set apart some to be saints, as he does in every place.
Despite persecution, which you can read about in the book of Acts, this little group of saints are faithful, that is what we are called to do, wherever we are.. amen.
These believers are grounded in Christ Jesus, they are not faithful to a creed or a theory, they are faithful to a person, CHRIST JESUS.
Why can we be faithful to HIM? Because he is always faithful to us.
It is all about a relationship, a relationship based on HIM, although we are sometimes unfaithful, he never is.
Glory in the fact, that you are his set apart one and that you are and always will be:
HIS SET APART ONE
Thanks
God bless you
