By the Will of God

15 03 2007

In my recent studies of the book of Ephesians, I noticed that the phrase “will of God” or “desire of God” is used often in the first chapter.  Paul’s apostleship, all the spiritiual blessings, the adoption, predestinating, choosing, sealing, etc. is all accomplished because He chooses it to be so.   How this humbles me!  I owe my existence and my position in Christ to the Power of God so that the good pleasure of His will might be satisfied.  Who am I that I should boast save in the death of Christ my God.
