Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus
-
Our surprising Lord saw us and loved us when we were far from Him...when we didn't have a thought or care for or about Him. He saw the ultimate potential for our lives and He took the actions necessary for us to be restored to Him. And just as our sins once separated us...but that is in the past (if we have trusted in Him), so the assurance that we will, one day be raised together to sit together in Heave...is described as already having happened!
-
From the standpoint of God's eternal love and His sovereignty over time and the absolute certainty of His plans....we can be assured that our place in Heaven awaits and we will be raised and we will be in the heavenly places in Jesus!
-
much love on this cold Monday morning!
