I Sing Praises To His Name, O Lord Jesus - Part 2171

"For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen." (Ephesians 3:14-21)
"To wit, God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself." (II Corinthians 5:19)

Notice that there is no "they" granting you according to the riches of His glory. Note too that unto Him that is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Always He. His Name is JESUS in this current dispensation of grace ... Emmanuel, being interpreted, God with us. (Matthew 1:21-23)

Indeed, this same God who created the world from nothing, plus every living thing that exists within, was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself. His love displayed on a cross so that we who believe in Him should have everlasting life. Yes, His love beyond measure displayed on a cross for all to see so that we could fully understand the breadth and depth of God's love for His people. This is the simplicity of the good news gospel of our Lord God and Saviour Jesus the Christ. His saving grace, and mercy extended to each and everyone of us so that we can revel in Him forever.

"He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not." (John 1:10-11) The Word that was not only with God in the beginning but was God was later made flesh and dwelt among us. (John 1:1-14) "This day have I begotten Thee!"

This was the moment in time -- the prophesied moment in time when the dayspring from on high would visit His people. After the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared. (Titus 3:4-7) God willingly became our Saviour, even when He knew the final outcome -- shedding His precious, holy blood on a cross, marred in His form beyond that of any man, nails hammered into His hands -- all so that He could bridge to us -- His free gift of salvation,. (Titus 3:4-7)

God manifest in the flesh. (I Timothy 3:16)

Thus, our heart desire should always be to stand in the offering plate in the day to day, glorifying our Lord God and Saviour Jesus the Christ in all that we do -- singing praises unto His Name!

Blessed be His holy Name!
