Ephesians 1v12
… that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
For Christ in us is the hope of glory. It is for glorification that we have redemption. As wonderful as the promises of redemption are to us, it has never been in the nature of God to simply deliver and then abandon us to ourselves. He delivers us from the kingdom of darkness and plants us in the kingdom of light (see Colossians 1v27). He gives us the privilege to be called His Children, adopted through the purchase of the Blood, into the family of God.
When we come to Jesus, we must wrestle with every mindset in us until our mindsets come under subjection to the knowledge of God through Christ Jesus. Naturally, we were vagabonds, possessing understandings that conflicted with the very nature of God. Hence, for us to truly and evidentially receive of the nature of God, we must take sides with the Holy Ghost as He dethrones every mentality in us, supplanting them with the mentality of God.
In Jesus’ Name, may the power of God continue to rest upon us, enabling our feeble members with great strength until every high thing that exalts itself above the knowledge of Christ is dethroned.
Hallelujah!
