Blogged Bible Study- Ephesians 2-in the heavenly places

Ephesians 2:1-6 
 And you were  dead in the trespasses and sins  in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following  the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body  and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.  But God, being  rich in mercy,  because of the great love with which he loved us,  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and  seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.


Lord, in our immortality, we have so much trouble just seeing what it is you saved us from. We can quote words, but when it comes to a heart connect, we struggle. As  I read this again, I stuck fast to these few verses... While we followed your enemy the prince of the air, while we were dead in our sin, your great love made a way for us to be alive together with Christ.  How great is your love for us! Because of your grace we are saved from eternal separation from you. As hard as it is at times for me to grasp this love that you have, i can not wrap my head around the fact, that we are already raised up and seated with you in the heavenly places in Christ.  Just another awesome thing about you! You see the whole picture, you already see how it all ends, and how eternity with you begins and goes on and on..we are already seated in the heavenly places with you, in Christ.  That is quite enough for this princess, understand it fully-no, believe it-yes. Thank you Lord for saving us, and even as we followed your enemy...This GRACE, this LOVE, such MERCY...YOU alone are worthy of all my praise, what priceless gifts you have given to us, we can't comprehend.  Your princess who is now pondering on the heavenly places.
