Scripture Post #468: *WITHOUT BLAME*
Ephesians 1:
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

Context: This Scripture was from Apostle Paul, to the Saints which were at Ephesus (Eph. 1:1).
Living life *WITHOUT BLAME* may seem impossible. But are we saved or aren't we? Is there anything impossible for GOD?
Matt. 19:26: "But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."
Don't tell me it's possible for GOD to perform mega-miracles in the financial arena, but can't keep you from actin' right—keep you from being *WITHOUT BLAME*. Come on. How much sense does that make? Makes 0 sense to me. But that's me. Anyway, the point is: if the Bible is stating for us to be *WITHOUT BLAME*, then we can be *WITHOUT BLAME*. Why? 'Cause it's the same Bible that states JESUS died for us, that GOD loves us, that there's nothing impossible with GOD. So if we believe these parts of the Bible, then what's keeping us from believing that we could actually live life blameless? Us. Our limitations. Our restrictions. Let not your own disbelief prevent you from walking out GOD's will for your life.
2nd Pet. 3:14: "Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless."
It's awesome how GOD not only had us on HIS mind, but chose us in HIM before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:4)!
And predestinating us unto adoption by JESUS CHRIST, to HIMSELF, was according to the good pleasure of his will (Eph. 1:5)!
I don't know what you see when you read this. But I see love.
