Presentation transcript:

We have something to boast about Eyes on God Ephesians 1:3 We have something to boast about UPWARD

God-centered and Christ-focused Who we are & how we are to live Saints & faithful In grace & peace.

God’s Great Plan 1:3-14 panoramic view of God at work Praise! (1:3) Greek: euloghtoV “speak well of” You can only brag about what you know. Kneel before God and boast of who he is! We can’t praise God if we don’t know him.

Bless be God, who has blessed us with blessings What happens when God blesses us? There is a change in relationship: He is “Father” The beginning point is from whom the blessing comes – not so much what the blessing is.

All Spiritual Blessings Nothing lacking God is not stingy We have every single one. Spiritual The intangibles that give life meaning.

It is the unseen real world that truly matters now and forever In the Heavenly Realms It is the unseen real world that truly matters now and forever This “heavenly realm” is our present real, reality that when we ‘see’ it we will live different lives. We live in heavenly realms, with a heavenly citizenship enjoying the spiritual blessing while using them in a physical world “I live! Yet not I! Christ living in me!

In one continuous sentence Paul pours forth his praise of what God has done for us. When we truly see God there will well up in us gratitude that will overflow into our daily lives.
