JESUS CHRIST:
     Our Foundation

     To the Praise of His Glory!

 

     These last couple of issues, we have seen that the will of God has been revealed. It is no
     longer a mystery. We have briefly looked at what that will of God is for each one of
     us. Today, we will discover what is the purpose for God's will. Why is God so bent
     on us following His kingdom purpose and living in His will?

 

     Ephesians 1:9, 10

Having made known unto us the mystery of his will,
according to his good pleasure which he has purposed
in himself:

That in the dispensation [administration] of the fulness
[completion] 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:

 

     God declared His will so that when it is time for Christ to return, all of us (His kids
     and all the heavenly host) will be together as one for eternity! He wants us to be together,
     worshipping Him and glorifying Him, all unified in one body! He does not will that any
     one perish nor be left behind. He wills all to be saved and gain full knowledge of His Word
     while its still possible to do so and be gathered together as one, in Him.

 

All parts of God's will, (including seeking God first,
reconciling others unto God and maturity
in Christ), are for the express purpose
of us all living together, for all eternity,
as one, big, joyous family!

 

     Ephesians 1:11, 12

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance
[assigned, alotted privledge], being predestinated
 [predetermined in advance] according to the purpose
[proposal, intention] of him who works [Greek:
energeo = mighty in] all things after the counsel
 [volition, advice, purpose] of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise [commendation]
of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

 

     At the completion of times, when He sends Jesus Christ to gather us together, God
     will have an inheritance prepared for us. Also, rewards will be given for faithfulness
     to fulfill His purpose! We will know ourselves even as He has known us: sons of God
     and as He is. He wants us to be to the praise, the commendation, the laudation,
     of HIS GLORY. We will rejoice for all eternity over God's mercy and goodness! God
     will be honored in you and in me for what was wrought in us through Christ!

     God's ultimate will, His ultimate purpose for each one of us, is to become the praise of
     His glory, in Christ our Lord, both now, with our lives devoted wholly to Him, standing
     faithfully on God's Word, and for all eternity, giving honor, glory and praise due His name.
     Amen.
