More two cents.....lol

I love the book of Ephesians. Did you know that in chapter one that verses three through fourteen in the Greek language is one sentence? In the English it's more than one sentence; but not in the Greek. I bet you didn't know that did you? I know I didn't...lol.

The cool thing about this sentence in Ephesians is that it is a perfect sentence to see the work of the trinity.

Here is the breakdown:

Ephesians 1:3-6 talks about how God the Father planned our salvation and it ends with the words, “to the praise of His glory” (Referring to God the Father).

Ephesians 1:7-12 talks about how God the Son paid for our salvation and it ends with the words, “to the praise of His glory” (Referring to God the Son).

Ephesians 1:13-14 talks about how God the Spirit sealed our salvation and it ends with the words, “to the praise of His glory" (Referring to God the Spirit).

Did you notice how in this sentence the whole work of salvation is His work, look at how many times the word, His, Him, He is in that verse?

Just some thoughts to ponder in hopes to stir you up a bit.
