That the GOD of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is His body, the fulness of Him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-23)
Oh that we would truly know and understand who Jesus really is and all of what He has done; and is doing for His Creation, and His own; and what He is going to do, for those that believe and those that don't. This wonderful doxology and praise of our Lord describes not only who Jesus is, GOD in the flesh; but also describes what the Father is doing, and what is to come. It also includes our position in Him, for we who are justified before GOD because of the blood of Jesus Christ, are now being sanctified through the Spirit, and one day will be glorified and forever in His presence. What an inheritance that truly is; that while our eternal life began the moment GOD saved us from our sIn, its final fulfillment will be in Glory. What a song we have to sing; of our Creator, our Redeemer, our Saviour, and our King. Jesus is Lord and we worship Him; not an invisible pie-in-the-sky make-believe god of our own design, but the GOD of the universe who revealed Himself through His Word and stepped out of Heaven and became a man and died on a cruel Roman Cross for our sakes and is now at the right hand of the Father until He comes again for His own and to judge this world.
Those that don't have a personal covenant relationship with the GOD of the Universe through Faith in Him, the Bible says you are lost and dead in your sins and are judged already guilty before the Holy and Righteous Eternal GOD. Without a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ following repentance, that is surrendering to GOD on His terms, who will be cast out, and separated forever from everything and everyone including GOD Himself for all eternity. GOD is not willing that any should perish, so He wants you to believe and be born again.
He calls us all to praise Him and bow before Him as Lord. All will do it someday, whatever your need He is the answer.
In Christ,
