We just have read Ephesians 1:1-23, and based on this passage I would like to explain to you how God’s children have come into existence according to His plan. The Book of Ephesians is Paul’s Epistle testifying that God Himself has built His Church. God wanted to adopt all human beings as His children and let them abide in His Church, and as the way to achieve this, He spoke of the salvation that is received through the gospel of the water and the Spirit. Here in the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul explained the process by which God’s children have come into existence.

Today’s Scripture reading states that God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. What exactly are these spiritual blessings? Some things in this world are of the flesh, while the others are spiritual. We often describe certain people as fleshly. To be specific, worldly things such as large luxurious apartments and homes and gourmet foods are what provoke the lust of the eyes or the lust of the flesh. Those who place the highest values on and live for the things in this world such as movies, arts, cultures and beauty are called fleshly people. These types of people are those who do not look within themselves or care for their own souls. Worldly people do not live a life that follows the will of God. They do not try to receive the remission of their sins by believing in the gospel of the water and the Spirit in Christ, but instead they work very hard for external pleasures. In contrast, the word ‘spiritual’ in today’s passage has the completely opposite meaning of being worldly.

Today I would like to share the Word of Truth with you concerning God’s Church. Although I could stand here and speak endlessly about God’s Church, beginning with the Book of Genesis and covering practically the whole Bible, I would like to instead focus on the following passage to explain what God’s Church is and who the members of the Church really are: “Which [The Church] is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all” (Ephesians 1:23).
