Paul, an apostle (special messenger) of

Christ ( the Messiah) Jesus, by the divine

will ( the purpose and the choice of God)

to the saints ( the consecrated, set-apart

ones) at Ephesus who are also faithful and

loyal and steadfast in Christ Jesus:

May grace ( God’s unmerited favor) and

spiritual peace ( peace with God and harmony,

unity, undisturbedness) be yours from God

our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

May blessing be to the God and Father of

our Lord Jesus Christ Who has blessed us

in Christ with every spiritual blessing in

the heavenly realm.

( Ephesians 1.1-3).

Meditation points:

1) Your calling is by God’s divine will.

2) Your election by God signifies His

will to consecrate you and set apart

for His holy plan.

3) This means that God’s grace, His

favor rests on you and nothing can

separate you from His acceptance and

lavish love, nothing can disturb your peace

in Him.

4) God’s blessings on you are blessings intrinsic

to being in Jesus Christ with every blessing

bestowed by the Holy Spirit granted in the

heavenly realm, the eternal kingdom of God.
