Ephesians 3:15 NKJV
from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
Paul said that he bowed his knees with such gratitude to know that he did not exist just when he is born of earthly parents but his identity comes from His Father in heaven.
This is not something Paul took lightly. Instead, his life is established in the truth that what Christ has established is his new identity.
Paul's revelation comes from this perspective, seeing everything from the eternal perspective, divine and born of the spirit that he has become a child of the living God.
The name speaks of identity. We are named by God which our Father holds our name, carved in the palm of His hand. God who is eternal and changes not have carved us in the palm of His hand.
This is so rich and so much to take in from what Paul stated here. The abundance of God our Father is so big and there is so much God has stored up for His children.
It is up to us to know Him and know what He has established for us. So that we can live in His fullness and not miss out on the best God has set for us.
We need to see beyond the natural, earthly and daily activities and begin to function from our divine nature that God has given to us.
Exercise our spiritual gifts, walk in our spiritual identity and flow through all that Christ has placed in us.
Let us be conscious of our new identity and live in the abundance of God.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
