Text: Ephesians 1:10


*ESV:
“as a plan for the fulness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth”:

*ETS:
In His time, according to His plan, God will remove all the divisive effects of sin. In Christ, a restoration will occur. Earth will no longer be inhabited by the enemies of heaven, and heaven will be the home of the redeemed.

*DTFTD:

Paul praised God when he considered man’s redemption as having been planned before the creation of the earth (vv 3-8). Here Paul’s praise is focused on the future. In the future, at a predetermined time, Christ will bring the divisive effects of the fall to an end - peace between heaven and earth will be permanently established.
Paul reminded the Ephesians of their responsibility as saints to be faithful in Christ. Faithfulness to known truth opens the heart to hear more of God’s revelation.

*EDS:

In your heart the promises of God concerning the future should be as certain as the promises he has fulfilled in the past. Praising God involves past, present, and future considerations. Take time today to praise God in consideration of his work in every dimension – past, present, and future.


INGREDIENTS: The certainty that God’s plan will be complete in Christ; The exaltation of Christ as the only one who can bring everlasting peace between heaven and earth; The reminder of a Divine calendar.
