“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 reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:9-10
God’s plan is to unite all things in heaven and earth under Christ. This plan will be accomplished in the perfect timing of God.
The question is how does this global plan fit into your life and mine? As mere human beings we cannot grasp the enormity of this mission of God. It is way over our heads. So what is the purpose of Christ for you today?
God wants to unite all things in your life under Christ Jesus. Literally, this covers all your thoughts, words, and actions. And, He is at work in your life to fulfill this purpose.
The catalyst to unite you with Christ begins and ends with your faith in His promises. You cannot leapfrog this priority to pursue works or religion.
The initial building block is trusting God and living out your faith in every detail of your life. You will never be a valuable disciple of Christ until you demonstrate your faith in adversity and all the challenges of life.
Without faith it is impossible to please God. Faith is understanding the attributes of Christ and believing He rewards those who diligently seek Him. You seek Him by expressing your faith in who He is!
Your faith in Christ will fill you with His life through the efficacy of the Holy Spirit. Today invite the Holy Spirit to fill you with the Living Water of Christ so you can touch others with the love, joy, and peace of God.
This is how you can contribute to the global plan of God!
