Welcome to today’s devotion.
God’s Power
- Ephesians 1:19
What is the greatness of His power toward us who believe? This question deserves to be asked. Many believers wrongly search for a way to look for a demonstration of God’s power. Indeed, we see power in healing and deliverance from evil spirits. We can see the shadow of the power that a weak, powerless man uses to become a powerful preacher and teacher; But the exceeding greatness of His power is the power of God, which by love causes us to be united to one another and to Christ in the fellowship of the body of Jesus Christ.
If you read Ephesians 1:15-21 carefully, a beautiful picture begins to emerge. Everything the Father did for Christ was for us! His power toward us was worked out in Christ and we were simply accepted in Him! “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in Christ has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the heavenly places; (Ephesians 1:3).”
God’s power is His power to love me in Jesus Christ as a special member of His corporate body. Jesus Christ who is all, we are members of his body, (1 John 4:17). All the blessings, power, strength, wisdom, compassion, and glory that belong to Christ alone are freely shared with us. To the praise of the glory of his grace, in which grace he made us acceptable in the same beloved, (Ephesians 1:6). That is the greatness of His power towards those who believe.
