1 | Eph 1:18, Inheritance question? | Eph 1:18 | TEALEAD | 64900 | ||
I'm studying Ephesians chapter 1 and wondering if anyone can shed some light on the end of verse 18. Paul is praying for the eyes of our heart to be enlightened, that we may know the hope of his calling, what are the riches of the glory of HIS inheritance in the saints. When I first read it I felt it was talking about the hope we have in Christ resulting in eternal life. I also as I read thought Paul was talking about our inheritance, but by reading it closer, I note that it really says of "His inheritance in the saints." How do I interpret this verse? Is God saying that we are his inheritance? That he counts a relationship with us to be so valuable, that the end of our own hope brings us eternal joy with him and the same is true of God. Our obedience to God brings him eternal joy to inherit us as His own? Not sure if I'm making sense as I type this, but am I right to interpret this verse to say God considers those who are believers in Christ to be an inheritance all his own? Any insight would be appreciated. In Christ, Tealead |

2 | Can man know God without a Bible | Rom 10:17 | TEALEAD | 64453 | ||
Thanks for clarifying this to me. I did find that example to seem a bit strange, yet it was referenced in notes in my Bible. I do use the NIV translation which is where my fault may lie. Do you have a response to the rest of my comments. I enjoy the interaction on this web site and look to it as a place to learn. I would like to know what you think of the scripture references in Romans realated to the main question of if man can know God without the scriptures. My understanding is that God reveals himself through his creation and he calls us to seek him out. If one were truely seeking God I believe he would find him. God would put in his life the desire and the means for finding him. Does it all come back to election?? Any insights? |
