Bible Reading: Ephesians 2:1-10
Memory verse: Ephesians 1:4, “Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.”
Paul was very conscious of his lack of qualification and inability to qualify for the ministry of Jesus Christ. On his own, he understood no good work could qualify him to be used of God. God chose and called us from the foundation of the world, not because of what we do but because of his great love for us. It is a tragedy that after getting born again many start to think they need to qualify themselves. This results in a constant feeling of failure.
However, if you know you are already chosen, you will realize you are already packaged for good works. Ephesians 2:10. This mindset is what causes you to stir away from a lifestyle that will hinder you from fulfilling God’s ultimate purpose for your life. Finally, realize that God’s purpose is supposed to blow your mind because you don’t qualify for it.
