I read Ephesians Ch. 1 and it really laid out the notion that God is in control. Think about it. The creator of the Universe is in complete control over his creation. It makes logical sense but for me it didn't get magnified in this way in Ephesians Ch. 1. Verse 4 it says "even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him." God chose us to follow him. In verse 5, we are to be Jesus Christ's brother or sister. God himself wants us to be co-heirs of his creation. We humans have a very unique position in his creation. Even though angles might be more powerful, but God created Adam and Eve with the purpose of being dominate over all creation. We as co-heirs to the thrown of God, we should be in awe of what he is doing, because God owns the universe because he created, so he has the absolute right to do what ever he wants with his creation. He chose to have us humans to be the dominate species over all creation. We need to take our dominion over his creation seriously.
Personal Application to My Life:
For me, I don't want to deal with the pets that are in my life right now, but as a member of my earthly family I have a responsibility to do it, and in doing so, I should do it all to the Glory of God because we are suppose to take care of God's creation.
So, what personal application do you want to share?
Notes:
I suggest reading Ephesians Ch. 1 a couple of times because that helped me grasp the magnitude of what is in the first chapter of Ephesians.
The Bible verse(s) came from ESV.
