Ephesians 1:6,12,14
To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in
the beloved. That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in
Christ. Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. In this first chapter
of Ephesians we have three times the phrase, to the praise of His glory.
God gave His only Son to die for us. That means that we are special to Him. And
since God redeemed us with the blood of Jesus Christ, we are now part of God’s
forever family. And, just like you play the piano or trumpet and your parents
like to show you off to other parents when they are over at your house, God
likes to show us off to everyone. God shows us off to the angels and to Satan
and his fallen angels. And God proudly says, “See those Christians down there?
Those are mine! I bought them and they will be mine for all eternity!” God is
proud of us because He bought us. But the question is, by how we live, do we
make God proud?
