When you think about what drives the ambition of people in life and what also can lead to the most common crimes and sins you can sum up the motivations in a few words: "money and power". Inside of us there must be desires for wealth and control and, too often, these drive people to unhealthy activities that harm others. The letter to the Ephesians shows a healthy fulfillment of those ambitions, placed in the context of Heaven. Consider this passage from the first chapter:
-
Ephesians 1:18...that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe...
-
When the riches are in terms of the Heavenly inheritance shared with other believers, when the power is His power showing up in our lives as we walk through the daily challenges of living and when all of this is the result of hearing His voice and responding to His call...there is no greater ambition.
