True Christian living requires us to live according to Kingdom standards which bring Heaven to earth.
Today is Friday, the second week in Advent. I ask that you meditate upon the verses below and consider that these blessings are bestowed upon all life that the Lord has made, not just humanity. We need to awaken to this fact. All life can commune with Him; from the whale to the single cell organism.
Reading Ephesians 1:3-6, 11-12
Brothers and sisters: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavens, as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world, to be holy and without blemish before him. In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.
In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ.
