Ephesians 1: In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace
What strikes me in today’s scripture are the propositions: in, through, in accordance with, with. Prepositions show the relationship between two nouns “to show direction, time, place, location, spatial relationships, or to introduce an object”. For instance, “the shirt in the sink” shows the locational relationship between the shirt and the sink.
Ephesians 1:8 that he lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding,
In today’s scripture, the propositions in, through, in accordance with, and with show the relationship between us and “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ” (v3). “In him…in accordance with….With….With” these are prepositions of unity, of togetherness, of belonging. That is balm to my soul.
Ephesians 1:9 he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ,
Precious Savior, Thank You for reminding me that You are with me, that through You, with You, and in You, I am Your deeply loved child. Without You, I am nothing. Help me to root myself firmly in Your truth and love daily. Amen.
Ephesians 1:10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
Have a blessed day.
