Spiritual Blessing #1, Holy and Blameless


For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.     Ephesians 1:4

The first spiritual blessing in this passage was that God chose us to be holy and blameless in his sight.  Wow!  Let’s take a little time to consider what is said here. 

1.  God was intricately involved in providing salvation for us.  He also was involved to drawing us into a relationship with Him. 

2.God was planning since before the creation of the world.  God is eternal.  He has always been.  He has been concerned about me long before time began.

3.He, through Christ’s death and resurrection, opened the way for our guilt and sin to be taken away.  Our position in Christ is holy and blameless because that has been secured through Jesus. 

What great truths to consider as we understand that God has positionally,  made us holy and blameless in his sight.
