The ONE Thing God Is After in You: Understanding Your True Identity in Christ

If you carry a constant headache of guilt and inadequacy in your faith, it’s time to stop trying to be the “Lone Christian”. The Bible teaches that the Christian life simply cannot be lived individually, and as an isolated believer, you are “bound to fail”. In this profound message on the Book of Ephesians, Gene Edwards insists we must embrace a radical shift: seeing ourselves not as individuals, but as one single person, corporately, a redeemed people. The book of Ephesians, with its dense, chaotic truths, demands a “spirit of revelation” to grasp this shared reality and our ownership over “eternity in past times”. Discover the deliverance that is found only in being the body of Christ, and lay hold of your collective inheritance that “transcends space and time”.

 

Swiss Conference Part 2 – The Church in Ephesus Part 1

We’ve got the Father of glory, His glory, and “of” the glory. Glory got in here a lot of times. How many times did you get Stephen? Okay, that’s all right.

Freely bestowed once.

Beloved once.

Redemption, I think, is only one time.

Blood is only once. It’s mentioned in the second chapter.

Forgiveness only once.

Trespasses only once.

Riches—riches of glory once; riches of grace once. A lot of riches.

Lavished—how many times did you get lavished? One time. Incredible word. Very difficult to explain in any language.

Wisdom, I got twice.

Insight, once. I thought I had it twice, but I found out the other one was “enlightened” rather than insight.

Made known, once.
