Why am I doing this?

Ephesians 1:17-23
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might which He Brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in the one to come. And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.

Paul is praying for the Ephesians, that God would give them knowledge, wisdom, and revelation of all the blessings they have inherited in Christ. There is so much here and I am not going to try and unpack all of this. John MacArthur spent about 10 pages unpacking it, but know this. There is no need to seek something more, all has been given in and through Christ Jesus. So instead of pleading for more grace, more spirit, more fullness, seek the grace to live in the reality of what God our Father has already given you, seek the wisdom to use that understanding to glorify God in your life and pray that God would give you more revelation of what you already have in Christ. If we could live a thousand years we could never fully understand all He has blessed us with.
So, why am I doing this? Above, I pray with Paul that this understanding, that this wisdom and revelation is yours. That you don't waste a lifetime seeking what is yours in Christ, Instead you live for Him in the realization that you have every spiritual blessing in Christ.
My desire is for the reader of this blog. To know and understand who God is. To love the Lord your God with all of your heart, all of your strength, all of everything you are, every aspect of your being. In order to do this, you have to know him.
Someone might say, you're just trying to give us your theology. Well, to the extent that knowing and loving God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, to the extent that there is theology involved in the end, then you would be correct. I will make no apology for that. But in the spirit of brotherly love, please give this work a chance. Soon the post will turn to the attributes of God, we will start with what some call God's solitude and others call His independence.

Thank you for your time and for reading this blog.
