Ephesians 3:21
21 Unto him [autos] be glory [doxa] in [en] the church [ekklesia] by [en] Christ [Christos] Jesus [Iesous] throughout [eis] all [pas] ages, [genea] world [aion] without end. [aion] Amen. [amen] KJV-Interlinear
21 to
Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever
and ever. Amen. NASB
To Him, Jesus Christ, who
is God, who has taken on the title, Son of God, so that the plan of God can be
executed with perfection, so that people in all generations can be saved and
therefore have a life of overwhelming meaning and purpose and value, forever
and forever, and forever, and beyond.
For all of eternity in other words.
Despite Satan’s efforts
to derail and destroy God and Gods plan and even destroy you, God has, by means
of simple written words, been able to destroy Satan and his plans of evil, and
promote you and all who pursue Him.
God laid out a plan for a
phenomenal future, a future that will continue forever, for the Church alone.
Those who do not belong to the Church, do not have a good plan for their
future. They have only a future of
terror and misery and worse.
Now think for a moment. Glory means magnificence, splendor, beauty,
wonder, grandeur, brilliance, exaltation, dignity, honor, praise. That is the sum total of God and all that He
is, and all that He has made possible.
A very long time ago, God
created the universe. And if we could
look back in time and see it then as it originally was, even our own planet,
then we most probably would see the most remarkable and beautiful environment possible. Even our own planet would have had to have
been beautiful beyond description. And
prior to the fall of Satan, there would not have been any predators nor
victims, only the many life entities that God created, living in harmony and
happiness.
Then Satan came along and
ruined it all, for a while anyway.
But one day, when God
finally put an end to all of the evil that exists, and then that beauty will be
restored, but not only restored, it will be replaced in a new universe, which will
be far better, far more beautiful, far more phenomenal than the one we have
now, even in its original state.
Jesus has said, that with
faith, anything is possible. We have
just studied that all that is, was made possible by means of the very words
that we are studying. So, what is possible
for you, if you just happened to learn doctrine, just happened to grow up to
spiritual maturity, just happened to attain a high point of completion and fulfillment,
spiritually speaking, in your own life?
Is a daily study not
worth that opportunity? Is a daily Bible
study a waste of your time? Do you have
something better? Whose fault is it, if
you fail in life?
Is a daily study not
worth supporting, pursuing, making it your very own, and not just for a couple
of weeks or months, but for the rest of your earthly life?
What good and great
things, legitimate things, can you imagine, and then what exists beyond that?
Before you were born into
this world, you had no say as to what kind of person you would be, as to what
kind of life you would have. But now God gives you every opportunity to design
and define your ultimate life for all of eternity. Why would anyone ignore that tremendous opportunity
over the simple price of your time, in a daily study?
