Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. (Ephesians 1:3 NIV)
Focus on the Lord Jesus Christ. He gave us an example of how to live our life victoriously. As Children of God, we can see our destiny in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. The eternal plan of God for the church and for us individually is revealed through Christ’s incarnation. He suffered because of the truth, was persecuted by unbelievers, was not accepted by His own people, and died on the cross for the crimes of others (ours included). But He was resurrected and glorified in heaven. Let us faithfully obey God. Serve Him out of our Love for Him for the rest of our lives. We may suffer, be persecuted, cast-out, etc. because we uphold the truth and live righteously. It just goes to show that we are true Disciples of Christ. We shall meet our end, like everybody else, but in a fruitful way, because, we shall rise to glory and live eternally. Right now, we are being prepared for eternity. Praise the Lord God, Jesus Christ, for His divine blessings now and forever.
