Ephesians 2:4-10
Excerpted from: The Eternal Privileges of the BridePlease turn with me Ephesians 2, verse 4. So what is true of us now in light of the dignity of Christ? God has allowed His people even now to share in a measure of the dignity and authority that Christ has seated at the right hand of God. We are going to read verses 4 through 10.
We will be doing good works for eternity as the bride of Christ. Verse 7 explains why God so generously demonstrates His love, so that we will be in awe for all eternity over His incredible kindness and love that will never end. It will take eternity to fully understand and appreciate God's law, if that would be even possible. But thanks to having God's Holy Spirit running through us, we will be enabled to understand. It will take eternity to completely fathom God's abundant and unending love.
So if we are faithful Christians, we are in Christ, and that means that we are considered seated with Him in the heavenly places. Wherever the Bridegroom is, the bride is also, and the standing, the dignity, and the position that belonged to Him belong to us, to her.
Speaking of the virtuous woman but also in a spiritual sense, to the bride of Christ. The moment she becomes His bride, she shares in everything with Him. Therefore, she must uphold her position, responsibilities, and dignity.
Do we uphold God's dignity in our everyday life? We certainly try but we certainly also need the Holy Spirit to help us and to empower us to be able to do that.
There is no greater insult against the Bridegroom than someone's refusal to honor His bride. But she must be worthy. Dignity is the quality or state of being worthy, honored, or esteemed. This is something we are told repeatedly.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Excerpted from: Love and WorksThe right works do not earn us salvation but yet, we are created for good works. God ordained this from the very beginning. It is the right works that make life worth living. It is the right works that proves to God our understanding of His purpose. And it is the right works which show His love in us. And that love is shown to the world and ensures that the right kind of witness is going to be made for Him.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Excerpted from: Revelation 2-3 and WorksYou see, works do not pass from the picture because we are saved by grace. And that is made very evident in the book of Revelation because Christ, in His last message to His people at maybe the most important juncture in the history of mankind, says, "I know your works." His concern in those two letters is about conduct and overcoming and works.
