I decided to re-read it at home.
I should really PTL for every single little thing. I mean, God chose us because He love us. He wants us to have eternal life with Him. He planned out every single thing that has happened, happens, and will happen.
And, looking back on my, oh, so, old 2008 notes from bible study. I wrote that the Holy Spirit enables to work in us to have faith and follow Christ. And, when we are regenerated, what we want is submissive to God.
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:3-14
And, this past Friday bible study, I learned what a spirit filled christian does.
They fellowship, sing to the Lord, gives thanks to the Lord, and submits to one another out of reverence to Christ. And, what helps me do this is to pray and fill my mind with scripture.
I've got to keep track on how my lifestyle is. I need to keep growing in the Lord's word.
Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart, giving thanks always and for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:15-21
IF SOMETHING IS IMPORTANT, YOU'LL MAKE TIME FOR IT.
