Ephesians 1:18 Being Enlightened

Ephesians 1:18 (KJV)  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, 

Spiritual enlightening, spiritual understanding is imparted from God in Christ – Ephesians 1:17 (KJV)  That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 

It is called the spirit of wisdom and revelation that is founded upon the knowledge of Christ, who He is and how all things emanates from Him. This is the way of enlightenment.

It brings hope to life, a sense of His calling, and thus God’s purpose for our lives. To know what we are made for and to fulfill it is our greatest satisfaction. For our good work on earth brings with it an eternal reward.

It is called the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints. What He does for us, in us has an eternal significance, an eternal benefit that is so wonderful, we are called to behold so that we will fulfill His good purpose in us. Amen.
