Praise the Lord
Today we receive this challenge. We test ourselves, asking, "Am I in the faith? Have I entered Christ, and is He within me? Am I trusting Him and following Him?" Those who pass the test "stand fast" in grace. [1Peter 5:12; Romans 5:2; 2Timothy 2:1; 2Peter 2:10; 2Peter 3:18] They form God's group, the "we" and the "us" of God's choice and planning in Ephesians. Paul calls such believers, "the faithful in Christ Jesus" (Ephesians 1:1). Paul also calls this group "God's household," the gathering or "church" of His "eternal purpose." [Ephesians 2:19; 1:22-23; 3:10-11] This is the church where you belong, or ought to belong. For God decided long ago that this group of sinners would become His sons. In other words, the King "predestined" this group to be His royal family!
