A Life of Worship - A Life of Witness (VCL)
December 27, 2024
Ephesians 1:11-12 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will: that we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ.
Those who believe these Divine teachings and see the glory of these truths receive a gracious promise that secures the gift of the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him. The Holy Spirit sanctifies, comforts, and seals believers as the children of God and heirs of heaven. These are the first fruits of true and holy happiness. We were made for this, and for this, we were redeemed.
A life of worship - A life of witness
I must always choose the Lord, making this choice, even in a dark and weary journey. He offers me a life of worship, a life of work, and a life of witness. He takes this marred clay that is my life and molds it again into a vessel of honor, sanctified and worthy of the Master's use.
Job 23:10 Because He knows the road on which I travel when He had tested me, I'll come out like gold.
Ephesians 1:4 He chose us in the Messiah before the creation of the universe to be holy and blameless in His presence
Psalm 139:18 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are Thy works and that my soul knows right well.
So Ephesians 1:18 then with the eyes of your hearts enlightened, you will know the confidence produced by God having called you, the rich glory that is His inheritance among the saints.
We should pray daily and see more and more what the hope of our calling is and the riches of the Divine glory in this inheritance.
