One of the great comforts to Christians down through the ages has been the promise of heaven. Even the apostle Paul says that the sufferings of this life are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is to be revealed to us (Romans 8:18). Having a rock-solid confidence that your future is secure in the hands of God changes everything. Even more so, having a deep assurance that you yourself will persevere to the end is a great comfort when we are shaken not simply by the world’s uncertainty but by our own instability. Life rattles us. We are often surprised not only by how evil the world is but by how weak and vulnerable we are as Christians.
In Ephesians, the apostle Paul calls Christians of varying backgrounds, both Jews and Gentiles, to work together. We need each other. We are to stand together. We are to pray together. We must persevere together. Paul reminds us in this passage that we have a common eternal destiny. We have a common God-given identity.
This Sunday’s message is taken from Ephesians 1:11-14 and it is entitled, “Heirs Together". If you want to be encouraged and if you want to be encouraging, come and worship together this Sunday. Invite a friend. Let’s be the church together. We need it. God commands it.
