Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom

Imagine before the universe was created, the Lord knew who you were; God knew everything about you and has amazing plans for your eternity. God the Holy Spirit lives in you as a security deposit to guarantee the promise of your redemption in Heaven. You are destined for greatness through the blood of Christ who has paid for your sins. You are adopted into the family of God.

This is who you are in Christ! Do you know who you are in Christ? In the first 14 verses, Paul’s goal is for you, the believer, to understand your destiny. We need to know our identity in Christ. As Christians we have to have the right vision or worldview of our Christian faith.

In the second part of chapter 1, Paul prays that the realization of our identity in Christ becomes real, not just theory. We need to KNOW the inheritance coming to us and live according to our future, not our past.
