‘He predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ,
according to the purpose of his will.’
At work I have been
in the process of upgrading our internet banking system, the helpful bank
consultant took time with me explaining the alterations that would be put in
place and confirmed all the critical information. It was an almost painless
initial information gathering session and at its conclusion, he informed me
that I would be receiving all the relevant paperwork which he would prepare for
me. All that I need to do is read it, check it, sign and return it.
Before the world was
created and before light was created, God had written and completed all my adoption
papers, signed them, sealed them and kept them in his safe keeping.
There they waited,
for Christ to come and die for me, because he took my place, all my sin, sickness,
depression, shame, separation, so I could receive all His goodness,
And when I believed
in Christ I was crucified with Christ because Christ died As me. I died with
Christ, I was buried with Christ and I was resurrected In Christ and now I am a
new creation and Christ lives and works inside and through me.
My adoption was made
complete In Christ, but only when I believed and received His righteousness.
nice...ephesians talks often of our great inheritance as well....
