Bible Verse of The Day – 7-26-24

Ephesians 1:7-8 (NKJV) 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence…

We have been digging into the topic of redemption and the saving power of the blood of Christ this week, so we will continue that today as well.

This is foundational to our walk with God and our relationship with Him.

Without a solid understanding of this topic, we will fail to mature and develop our comprehension of other basic principles of Christianity.

The verses above are a summation of the foundation of our faith wrapped in a tidy little package.

Let us look a little more closely at what this all means.

Verse 7:

We have redemption (deliverance and salvation) though His blood.

He offers us forgiveness (pardoning, exoneration, clemency) for our sins (shortcomings, trespasses, offenses, misdeeds) through the generosity of His grace (unearned, unmerited, undeserved favor).

Verse 8:

He has caused these gifts to abound (be offered abundantly) toward us in every kind of wisdom and prudence (understanding, practical insight).

Why?

So we may grasp (develop understanding) the foundations of our faith and understand the mysteries of His plan and purpose.

God has equipped us with everything we need to grow and mature as believers.

He has gifted us with His mercy and grace.

And He has preserved His word over the centuries that we might have all that we need to flourish in our walk with Him.

Let us not neglect to gain understanding in the foundational things, but also to move beyond the basics and learn the mysteries of God.
