Ephesians 2:7 - The Message

Now God has us where he wants us, with all the time in this world and the next to shower grace and kindness upon us in Christ Jesus. Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It’s God’s gift from start to finish! We don’t play the major role. If we did, we’d probably go around bragging that we’d done the whole thing! No, we neither make nor save ourselves. God does both the making and saving. He creates each of us by Christ Jesus to join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing.

Ephesians 2:7 - Additional Comments

2 Chr 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him."
1 Pet 3:12 "For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."
1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
God loves to help us, to answer our prayers, to give us riches, both now and in the future. He loves to show Himself to us, both in the ages to come, but even in the present day. Our problem is we often try to fit God into our life, instead of looking to see where He is working, and watching and listening, and going where God is going.
Do we honestly look for God? Ask God what He is doing, ask Him to reveal Himself, and ask Him how you can join Him. God is looking for opportunities to show Himself to us.
