Welcome

One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G

Ephesians 1:12

12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

If it were not for the learned Jewish individuals at the time of the first century, it is possible that the Messiah might have been missed altogether. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Jewish early adopters who risked everything to stand by the truth as it was clearly revealed to them. For our sakes they led the way for our glorious hope in Christ our savior. If not for these courageous men with their background knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures we gentiles would have never been able to put together all the prophesies and other clues that have revealed the messiah, we would have been lost, without hope of salvation at all. 

So it is to the praise of His Glory that we have such a great salvation. I need to be mindful of the hope I have in Christ, which is precious  above all else.
