June 30, 2010 Eph 1

Dear Saints,
Today we prayerfully begin our Feast in Ephesians 1. It is a chapter that explains our induction into the Lords Army! We should be ready to accept and encourage anyone we know, or meet in grace and love to join in our salvation. “11In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession—to the praise of his glory.” – Ephesians 1:11 - 14 New International Version. We are justified, certified and made whole, heirs of his kingdom because Jesus loved us while we were still sinners. Please let me know how you feel in an email to me
mailto:mlitew8@yahoo.com. If God is willing I will post and send the Feast tomorrow.

“The LORD will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD, and his name the only name.” - Zechariah 14:9 - New International Version.

EPHESIANS OVERVIEW
“This epistle was written when St. Paul was a prisoner at Rome. The design appears to be to strengthen the Ephesians in the faith of Christ, and to give exalted views of the love of God, and of the dignity and excellence of Christ, fortifying their minds against the scandal of the cross. He shows that they were saved by grace, and that however wretched they once were, they now had equal privileges with the Jews. He encourages them to persevere in their Christian calling, and urges them to walk in a manner becoming their profession, faithfully discharging the general and common duties of religion, and the special duties of particular relations.” - Matthew Henry Concise

THE FEAST

29 June 2010 Ephesians 1 “A salutation, and an account of saving blessings, as prepared in God's eternal election, as purchased by Christ's blood. (1-8) And as conveyed in effectual calling: this is applied to the believing Jews, and to the believing Gentiles. (9-14) The apostle thanks God for their faith and love, and prays for the continuance of their knowledge and hope, with respect to the heavenly inheritance, and to God's powerful working in them. (15-23)” - Matthew Henry Concise

God Bless you,
