--More Than We Can Ask or Think


--BIBLE MEDITATION:
“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:20

--DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
-To be found in Jesus, Paul says, is worth more than all of his religion, race, and ritual. It is a relationship with the Almighty God. It is Jesus. Paul says, “I’m tired of trying. I’m going to start trusting.”

Basically, Paul lived a life of working his way to heaven before he met the Lord on the road to Damascus (see Acts 9). Legalism is a terrible thing. It is a harsh task master under which no one can succeed.

Liberty, not legalism, is what the Lord Jesus Christ offers. Freedom, not bondage. Relationship, not religion. We give up nothing for which Jesus will not abundantly offer more than we could ever hope or dream.

--ACTION POINT:
-Read Colossians 3:11. What does it mean for Christ to be your “all in all”?
--Adrian Rogers~~

"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up; for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk of coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving."
--(Eph. 5:3-4)
