Good morning. Today’s Bible verse is Ephesians 1:3: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ…”
How many people truly know God? Many religions claim belief in a god or gods. Some say they know the God of the Bible, but do they? Most people lack a personal relationship with God the Father because they do not believe in His Son, Jesus Christ, the resurrected Savior. They have rejected Paul’s gospel and chosen to seek God through their own merits and religious practices.
Dear Brothers and Sisters, please take a moment to read Ephesians 1:3-6 and meditate on today’s verse. We should honor and praise our Heavenly Father. Through Christ, He has granted us, who believe in the gospel of grace, all spiritual blessings.
As members of the Body of Christ, we are forgiven of our sins, have peace with God, and enjoy the privilege of standing before Him as His children. While others may talk about God and seek Him through various religious practices, only those who have believed in Paul's gospel of grace—by grace through faith—can genuinely experience a relationship with God the Father.
Reflection: Take some time to thank and praise God our Father for His love, mercy, and grace.
