We Are Called Into Union With Christ

 As God's blood-bought children We Are Called Into Union With Christ, identified with His righteousness, seated with Him in heavenly places, and exhorted to live and walk in a manner that is worthy of the divine calling with which we have all been called.
 Our behavior should be such that it honors God and gives credit to the position of responsibility with which we have been entrusted. We have been made ministers of a New and better Covenant, we are kings and priests to our Lord, and we are instructed to go into all the world as Christ's representatives, and share the good news of the gospel of grace with others.
 In addition to all the amazing privileges we have already been granted, we have also been given grace. The Lord has bestowed on each of His blood-bought children His unmerited grace and favor: "To each one of us grace was given – according to the measure of Christ's gift."
 We are all saved by grace through faith, and God's Holy Spirit has individually and selectively conferred different and individually selected gifts and graces on all His children so that we are enabled to live by grace and serve Him in newness of life, by grace. 
 Jesus gave HIMSELF willingly for us. Should not we give ourselves rejoicingly to Him?
Ephesians 4:7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ’s gift.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your amazing grace and for Your unmerited favor to all Your children. Thank You for bestowing Your grace onto each of us individually, in different ways, and in proportion to the measure of Christ's rich and bounteous gift. We honor You for Your amazing gift of salvation through Christ and pray that we may live humbly, righteously, and in the fear of God all the days of our lives, for His greater honor and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
