The Purpose Of Him
Ephesians 1:11 ESV
“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,”
Think about the first time you started thinking about God, Jesus, and salvation. Do you think it was an accident? I don’t think so. Think about it.
Jesus tells us in John 6:44:
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.”
Again, Jesus says in John 6:65:
“...This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
Now look again at what Paul tells us in Ephesians 1:11:
“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.”
There is great comfort in knowing that God has a purpose. Our coming to know Jesus is not some random accident. God has been at work, drawing us to His Son and calling us into the salvation we have in Christ.
His purpose is not to abandon you. His will has always been to love you, to draw you closer to Jesus, and to see you through.
So, my fellow follower of Christ, cling to Jesus. Trust Him. Seek Him in prayer and remember that your life is in His hands. The God who began drawing you to Himself is the God who will faithfully lead you forward.
And if you are at a point in your life where you feel yourself drawn to Jesus, then go to Him in prayer. He is waiting.
