Ephesians 1 ~ To the saints



Ephesians 1


Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God,

To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus:

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. 

In love 
he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 

In him we have redemption 
through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

In him we have obtained an inheritance, 
having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.







Up Adam and going forth for the day

Consider the lives of two men.

Both men woke up and had work. One is going on a business trip. One is working from home.

Moses and Paul. They woke up for a regular day.


Moses finds on this particular day as he puts out his walking staff - he finds a snake. As Moses puts out his hand, he finds he has snow white Leprosy.






Deuteronomy 5 - The Ten Commandments - Dead Sea Scroll  - Plate 981







Paul is on a business trip and discovers he is Blind.



Roman road to Damascus



Not your regular day. And Both will find this to be the Will of God.







Amazingly, we have a letter from the formerly Blind man c. 38 A.D. Wondrous. In actual fact, we have 300 letters from the man. We credit from the Holy Spirit. These 300 Chapters are now owned by the University of Michigan. All 300 Chapters are called Papyrus 46 and almost 99% intact. Dating to the time the Apostle John was very much alive.

Paul recovered from being literally blind. Miraculously of God, we know. Paul tells us he has seen Jesus alive as the 500 have in 1 Corinthians 15.  Paul is now so gifted of the sight of Jesus Christ God, his life's work is to inform millenniums of the Wonderful Love God has for us. Paul tells us he is the one who has seen Jesus lately. And in this being from God, we find Paul lists the Fruit of the Spirit.

Fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

We find Grace, Faith and Blessed are listed right there at the top with Jesus Christ. Blessed with Jesus.





Paul is telling us about God. He has no reason to write the Chapter unless the Holy Spirit is teaching, comforting, helping. Paul is not just throwing around nice words to fill up the paper and showing the Boss - look, he filled up the page with pretty words. "Look Father God, about 1200 words look -  blah blah love blah blah poetry big blah blah foundation blah blah poetry blah blah sound grand blah blah something about foundation love blessed blessed beloved blah plan blah head blah fulfilled high words dominion and will and blessed in poetry." This is something important to God. His Words. His Bible. His Teaching.











Paul is telling us - The Body of Christ. He is building up the Body of Christ.

God has acted with so much love for His people, He wants to tell us what God Himself sees.





The Top of the Body of Christ.


Is The Will of God.

~ Bought with a price. The Blood of Jesus. Covered by Jesus.

~ The Faithful of Jesus Christ.  Saints. God has chosen His People. We are God's. It is He who has made us. He seals us with the Holy Spirit. His Promises are sure.

~ Obtaining Fellowship with God to last for Eternity.

~  And in this Faith - God opens the Spiritual Treasure. Why? For our Redemption. Adoption. Grace. Blessing His Beloved Children. In Jesus, finding us holy and blameless.







God puts His Plan to Fulfillment. We experience God.

1. Some interest in the Faith and Jesus Christ.

2. We have an idea we are blessed and feel grateful.

3. We start to have an idea we are supposed to find out about Father God. We have a knowing  in our souls about the Riches of His Grace.

4. We consider His Full plan for our time.

5. We wonder about uniting all the people we love and know in God's care and Love.

6. We ask of God about the guarantee of our inheritance - the invitation to live forever with God = we want to bring our lives as a blessing to increase His Praise and His Glory. We want to see the Father run to us  - the prodigal.

7. We realize this Salvation requires God to reach to us. We are not able. We seek a miracle.

The immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.








~ God assures us the foundation of The Body of Christ, the foundation of the very world, itself, is God's Plan of Salvation in Jesus Christ.  Saying the purpose of life itself is  - to find Jesus Christ.

~ In God's Purpose,  all of His Plan is under His Feet. This is something very comfortable and easy for God.  Father God tells us if we seek Jesus, we are going to find Jesus.

~ The Foundation of God's Plan to us is the work of mankind - to believe God.  Father God tells us to us, this is mystery to mankind. However God, is the creator of all things,  He is the head, the authority, the King of Kings of His Plan.

~ In Jesus Christ ...
 lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.

~ When we see Jesus of the Gospels, willing, loving, holding children, healing. Dealing with all of life. Ending the storm, We have seen Father God.  The Salvation of God tells us God is working circumstance in our lives - to bring us to God.





Abba God,

In Astonishment, because of You, The Body of Christ is families living in Heaven and in earth.

We pray for more Heaven on earth as Your Will is done. You easily accomplish this with Your Kingdom, Your Power and Your Glory.

We ask blessings on the Body of Christ - multitudes and multitudes forming great believers, The Body of Jesus Christ. Their prayers are beautiful to You. We ask You to bless us and make the Holy Name of Jesus so great in our lives, You will be our blessing and presence as we pray.

We ask Blessing on those who Bless the Body of Christ. We know You will bless those who bless You. We ask all things continue to work for Good for those who Love You and work according to Your purpose. And pray all the families of the earth shall be blessed in Jesus Christ God. God bless Charlie Gard and his ability to lift up many people praying for this child. May our Father God look with all His favor on this boy, his healing, the new High Court hearing and his family.

Covering this in Jesus, Amen.






 ♔ Lord Jesus Saves †

About scripture-for-today.blogspot.com/

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He has saved all who call upon His name and rely on Him for His Grace. The Scriptures are living & active and are for understanding the Lord Almighty. Biblical readings are chosen from the Ecumenical Christian Church and the Nicene Council, 325 A.D., approved Apocrypha. People remember not just from reading, but by sight and orally- an image has been added as well as audio readings. God tends to link the passages together with fascinates - this blogger, Anne-Laurel Gardere

About Me

My photo
Email registry at bottom.! “All Scripture is inspired by God” (2 Timothy 3:16). Men “moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God” (2 Peter 1:21). The Holy Spirit carried men along, moving and guiding them as they wrote in their own words what God wanted them to say. The Bible is unique; comprised of 80 separate books, & written over a period of thousands of years by more than 40 writers with one Author, spanning the centuries, different states of peace & war & different situations in life. The Bible answers the question: of who is God, who is man & what can their relationship can be. Although the Bible was written on perishable material and copied by hand for many centuries, its accuracy is not in doubt, proven by Dead Sea Scrolls and papyrus from 2,000 years. The Bible has survived persecution & criticism to be read with great interest in each generation. The Bible gives witness to the greatness of the Creator. A loving Father concerned for all of his creation. With each verse of the bible witnessing to God is love and the multitude & vastness of His attributes. The Bible was written for you. <><
