Ephesians 1:3 Life in Christ is based upon four new realities. I am Favored I am Refined I am Connected WHO AM I -- I AM BEING REMADE

Basic Truth IN CHRIST WE HAVE DISCOVERED OUR PLACE OF BELONGING IN HIS KINGDOM.

Ephesians 3:19-22 That's plain enough, isn't it? You're no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now your home country. You're no longer strangers or outsiders. You belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He's using us all—irrespective of how we got

Ephesians 3:19-22 here—in what he is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now he's using you, fitting you in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day—a holy temple built by God, all of us built

Ephesians 3:19-22 into it, a temple in which God is quite at home.
