Ephesians 1:19


Copyright Ó 2012 J. Neely
Ephesians 1:19

19 And [kai] what [tis] is the exceeding [huperballo] greatness [megethos] of his [autos] power [dunamis] to [eis] us-ward [hemas] who [ho] believe, [pisteuo] according to [kata] the working [energeia] of his [autos] mighty [ischus] power, [kratos]KJV-Interlinear

19 and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might  NASB

All things which God has done for you, and for each and every believer, far exceeds, infinitely exceeds a magnitude that is way, way, way beyond our comprehension.

The word power is used here in the divine sense, but that does not even begin to convey the idea of all that God has done and all that God keeps on doing for believers throughout history and throughout each individual life.

God utilized power in originating the divine plan. God utilized power in initiating the divine plan.  He used power in creating history and all of the era’s that make up history.  He used power in the creation of all things, even the universe.

The work in creating the universe is said to be finger work, Psa. 8:3.

The work of salvation is described as arm work, Psa 98:1.

God used power in the creation of man, in the creation of each individual at birth, in salvation, in the sustaining of salvation and in the keeping of each and every believer throughout their individual lives. Your individual life.

God uses power in sustaining and controlling the universe and history.

God uses power in all phases of life, from the moment of His conception of you in the divine plan in eternity past, to the moment of your birth, to the conclusion of your life, until the time of your inheritance and beyond.

Power of God, is used day in and day out of your life, even though you do not and cannot see its use.

The power for your birth, for your salvation, for all things that occur in your life, come only from God, and from no other source.  Certainly not from you.

And note here, the power of God, has been focused entirely toward the ultimate goal of getting you into eternity and beyond.

If that does not make you special, then what lesser thing could?
