Come, walk through the Word.
Christ redeems, gathers, and seals His people. Come without hurry. The riches of grace forgive sins, reveal God's purpose, and give the Spirit as the earnest of the inheritance. Listen first for what grace has already done in Christ.
Ephesians 1:7–14
7In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
11In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
12That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
13In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
14Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
Stay with the movement.
The riches of grace forgive sins, reveal God's purpose, and give the Spirit as the earnest of the inheritance. Every part of salvation rests in Christ and moves toward God's glory. Paul joins the riches of grace to a worthy walk shaped by Christ.
Thank God specifically for forgiveness and live today as one sealed for Him. This is an invitation to receive God's strength and let grace become visible in the church.
