“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.” Ephesians 1:3-4 (NASB)
Imagine that we could actually know the extent, both in quantity and quality, of the blessings which are in the heavenly places and are ours. We are not able to know exactly, of course or, to comprehend such a wealth of God’s prepared blessings. In the same way, it is actually not possible for us – the human kind – to comprehend how God chose us before He even created the world. The Bible says He did so that we would be holy and blameless before him - only way we ever could. Yet we are those whose hope in Christ brings us our salvation and seals it by the Holy Spirit as promises (Ephesians 1:12-13). We often find the promises from God are so profound and so beyond our ability to fully grasp, the only thing to do is to simply believe and wait for the day that all will be made clear. That will happen one day and on that day, we will know just as we have been known in Christ Jesus. Now, let's rejoice in promises we find revealed in the Bible even when we do not fully comprehend how they all work together for our good.
