Ephesians 1:9-14

9 God's secret plan has now been revealed to us; it is a plan centered on Christ, designed long ago according to his good pleasure. 10 And this is his plan: At the right time he will bring everything together under the authority of Christ — everything in heaven and on earth. 11 Furthermore, because of Christ, we have received an inheritance from God, for he chose us from the beginning, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. 12 God's purpose was that we who were the first to trust in Christ should praise our glorious God. 13 And now you also have heard the truth, the Good News that God saves you. And when you believed in Christ, he identified you as his own by giving you the Holy Spirit, whom he promised long ago. 14 The Spirit is God's guarantee that he will give us everything he promised and that he has purchased us to be his own people. This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious God. (NLT)

 

God’s secret plan

 God’s secret plan is Jesus Christ. His whole plan is centered around Jesus. Everything is about Jesus. We are part of that plan. Our lives are to reflect God’s plan that Jesus Christ is living in and through us. We are to deliver Jesus’ message that He died for everyone and that He is the salvation to the world. We have an inheritance in Christ, we have the Holy Spirit because of Christ, we have a guarantee that God will give us everything He promised and we are God’s own purchased people. All this is reason for us to praise and worship our glorious God.
