I am a retired middle school teacher and looking forward to this Bible Study series... I have been looking for an online Bible Study and I appreciate the opportunity to do so...

The only thing that is scary about it is knowing that God has a plan for us all and whether or not we will be able to follow through with it. Not having a personal relationship with God would make it impossible to please Him. The comforting point is that He does have a marvelous plan for our lives and if we trust Him and Believe that He knows best, and depend on Him--His plans for us will be successful... I believe Paul brought it up to let the Ephesians know that there is a plan for our lives - already predestined - if we choose to follow it. Praises were given to God because it let the Ephesians know about the plan and that they could fulfill it via obedience...

Being in Christ to me means having Christ within me and living life with Him rather than without. kKnowing that He is actually living within me will cause me to be very careful in my daily walk. I need to be obedient to His will and to serve others through Him. Having Him in me causes me to want to do my best for Him and to reflect the grace and goodness that He has bestowed upon me...
