"BY THE WILL OF GOD!"

Ephesians 1:1-2 NASB
"Paul, an APOSTLE of Christ Jesus BY THE WILL OF GOD,  To the saints who are at Ephesus and who are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Why are some of us Believers and some think we are "Certifiable" in our beliefs?  How are some people Fanatical Believers, but others are just mediocre in their commitment?

Paul begins the letter to the Ephesians by stating what most would consider the obvious. Paul was an Apostle of Jesus Christ like few others.  Most knew of his fervor for serving the Lord, but generally just credit him as an extremist who tended to "go to far" in his service to the Lord.

But why was Paul, once a persecutor of Christians (a believer that Jesus Christ is God in flesh) now one of the very people he used to imprison?  GOD INTERVENED in the life of Paul, on the road to Damascus, and nothing in his life was "normal" subsequently.

"BY THE WILL OF GOD" is a statement that whatever GOD chooses to do with your life, HE can do.  A human body is an amazing thing. GOD can cause your body to do things that appear to be impossible!

Making sure GOD gains glory for my life is my goal in life. HE can do with me whatever HE desires.  The outcome is in HIS HANDS!
