Page 37 - Ephesians
P. 37
To be accepted in the Beloved, is one of the most purifying
truths in the Bible. When you begin to enter into it, it makes you
humble, not proud. It fills your heart with praise, awe, worship and
adoration. It’s the very key to your victory over sin. It’s not the
door to sin that lets you sin anytime you want.
Glance at verse 4 & 5. Be honest with me. What good is it to
argue over election, predestination, foreknowledge and adoption,
if you’ve never seen that you are “Accepted in the Beloved”?
Everything God has given to His Son becomes yours, by
inheritance? Volumes have been written on “the atonement”.
Libraries on “the mystery of His will”, found in verse 9.
“Dispensations”, in verse 10. “The sovereignty of God”, in verse
11. Untold pages about the ministry and the work of the Holy
Spirit in verses 13 & 14. But it profits very little, if you haven’t
seen yourself in the Beloved, accepted in Christ. To the degree
you see yourself in Christ, and to that degree alone, you enter
into the wealth of your inheritance.
Somehow Christians have the idea, that when they got saved,
every spiritual blessing was dropped on them. You don’t
understand your Bible if that’s what you think. Fact is, not one
spiritual blessing was dropped on you, when you got saved.

been dropped. You know His Name and I know His Name.
“He has a name that’s above every name. At the name of
Jesus, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess”.
He’s, been blessed with all spiritual blessings, and you are in
Him. That’s the only reason, you have spiritual blessings. He’s
wealthy, and He’s rich. He’s wise, and He’s loving. He’s dead
unto sin, and He’s alive unto God. He’s triumphant over sin,
death, hell, the anger of God, Satan, and every evil. He’s the One
that conquered.
You’ll never find a verse like this in the Bible, “Be of good cheer,
you, have overcome the world.” “Be of good cheer,” He said, “I
