Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love,
Ephesians 1:4 NKJV
The Word tells us in our theme verse that you were chosen in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world.
In other words, we were made in Christ before the world was even made or created.
The Word says we were made to be holy and without blame in Him, even before the foundation, or beginning, of the world.
Before the world was even founded, we were made to be blameless (righteous), and live as kings and priests on the earth. (Rev 1:5,6).
And saviours shall come up on Mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s. Obadiah 1:21
The Word says that saviours shall arise on Mount Zion.
So, you were not only made to be holy and blameless in Christ. You were not only made to be a king and a priest. You were also made to be a saviour, hallelujah!
It’s not surprising that the Word tells us that saviours, not just a saviour (Jesus), shall come up on Mount Zion. The Word tells us that Jesus was made to be the firstborn among many brethren.
Romans 8:29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Jesus is the firstborn saviour. As many who put themselves completely under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, come to discover the glory that He has brought to them into, and His commission to spread the Gospel; they become saviours with Him, hallelujah.
For these, the following verse applies as a personal word to them:
‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’ ” Hebrews 10:7
Glory to God. You were actually created in Christ Jesus before the foundation of the world for one reason: to do the will of God.
And His will is for you to be a king and a priest, and to rule on the earth, hallelujah!!
CONFESSION
I know who I am. I am born to be a king and a pries, holy and blameless, a saviour before my Lord and my God. ‘Behold, I have come— In the volume of the book it is written of Me— To do Your will, O God.’ ” I walk in obedience to my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and I reign as a king and a priest on the earth, hallelujah!
MORE LIGHT (MEDITATE ON, AND PRAY WITH THESE)
Rev 1:5,6 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
De 7:6 For thou art an holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
