Have you ever heard of someone who died in the midst of great poverty, only to be discovered to have been very, very wealthy? Some of us live our Christian lives just like this-looking like spiritual paupers, while all the time we have a spiritual bank account that reveals that we are rich. As you study this letter to the Ephesians, make note of all that you, as a Christian, have in your heavenly bank account: adoption, acceptance, redemption, forgiveness, wisdom, inheritance, the seal of the Holy Spirit, life, grace, and citizenship-every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places
