What Shall I Render

We cannot save ourselves or give eternal life. We can listen to God, who is eternal, and let Him change our thinking about us saving ourselves. (Eph 1-4)

We live like we think. We can join the world in the futility of its thinking, or we can be made new in the attitude of our minds, by the truth we were taught about Christ. We can think and live as children of light (Eph 4:17 - 5:8).

A story about faith in Jesus as the Christ, our only hope.

God's love is powerful to save us, transform us, and equip for living a lives of love, reflecting Him to others and bringing Him glory. (Eph 3 - 5)

We hear what we listen for! Are we listening to hear His message in His Son? God's message changes everything, just like snow (Isa 1:18; 55:1-13)

In Christ, our lives are filled with, marked by, and strengthened in what God has done for us in Christ's victory over evil, sin, and the grave (Eph 3, 4).

The Love of God is revealed in the Bible, but we must listen to the message if we want to know His love and the salvation and purpose it brings to us. (1 Sam 3:9-10; Rom 8:31-39)

God's love, eternal life, and His Holy Spirit are bound together in His redemptive purpose for us in His Son.

Let the truth of God, in Christ, give you the proper view of things: Victory over the world is ours in Christ Jesus, the Son (1 Jn 5:4). We know God can do all things, no purpose of God's can be thwarted (Job 42:2). All that surrounds us to discourage us cannot defeat our God!!

Walking around in love we reflect the love God has given us in His Son (Eph 5:1-2; 2 Cor 5:14-15).

The love of God is powerful. It can bring enemies to be friends, give life to the dead, and transform hearts and lives! God's plan has always been in His love. (Jn 3; Eph 1; and 1 Jn 4)

Jesus came to this world and brought peace, a peace so powerful it can free our minds of fear and our hearts from worry. His peace is life giving! (Luke 2:1-14; Eph 2:14)

Jesus is the Light of the world. He is in us by His Spirit. Believing Him, we find gratitude and faith to reflect Him in a dark world. (Eph 5:8-20).

God's love is not a human emotion; it is the life giving power and purpose granted us in His Son!

We live in a physical world, and faith has always called God's people to work through, face, the circumstances of life through deeds that reflect trust in Him. God's purpose, however, has never been merely outward and physical.

It is our nature to look at ourselves, be impressed with ourselves, and even to depend on ourselves and the power of our emotions. Faith calls us to Christ Jesus and God's work in Him, NOT to ourselves.

God has given us spiritual blessings in Christ Jesus. Spiritual blessings that glorify Him and work to accomplish His purpose in our lives (Eph 3).

The peace God gives in Christ Jesus is practical and powerful beyond anything this world offers. Peace in Christ is Real Peace. He, Himself is our peace (Eph 2:14).

One of our greatest spiritual blessings in the Son is that God has seated us with Christ in the heavenly realms. (Eph 2)

Christ Jesus is the eternal plan of God's redemption. He was always the plan. The law of Moses was never God's plan for redemption. Peace and life come only through the Son.

It is not enough to know what Jesus said and did. We must know the truth about Who He is, understand what that means, and be willing to trust Him and His work to free us from sin (Jn 8).

We should be thankful to God for His faithfulness to keep His promises and His power to accomplish His purpose (Ezekiel 36).

God is the God of peace, hope, and redemption. He promises these to us in Christ Jesus, His Son. God is faithful, and He will do it. Be thankful for that! (1 Thess 5:16-22)

God's purpose and work accomplished in Christ, holds power and hope for everyday relationships and life - Ephesians.

Considering what God gives, does, and promises in Christ Jesus in Ephesians 1 and 2.
