Gentle Pathways: Already Seated with Christ
Passage:
Ephesians 2:4-7 (NLT) "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God's grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus."
Reflection Theme:
This devotional explores our spiritual resurrection and heavenly position through union with Christ. The reflection examines how God has already raised us with Christ and seated us in heavenly realms, inviting us to live from this position of spiritual reality rather than being defined by our struggles.
