Whether such a person proves to be a good investment or not is up to that person based on their obedience and faithfulness to YHVH until the end of their life. If they victoriously overcome the world, the flesh and the devil, then YHVH will make a return on his investment and will have gained an immortal addition to his family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ephesians 1:15, <em>Faith in\u2026love for<\/em>.<\/strong> This is a restatement of the <em>shema<\/em>, which involves loving Yeshua and the saints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ephesians 1:18, <em>Inheritance<\/em>.<\/strong> The saints\u2019 inheritance is eternal life and membership in the family of Elohim for eternity.

This verse clearly answers this question.One is saved by the free gift of YHVH\u2019s grace through faith (in Yeshua). Salvation isn\u2019t based on good works (Torah obedience), or else prideful man would boast about how good his is, and that YHVH must have saved him on the merits of his good works. However, once one is saved, and a result of his salvation one will produce the fruits good works, which is Torah-obedience. This is the definition of biblical righteousness (Ps 119:172) and shows us how to walk in the Spirit by loving YHVH with our all and our neighbor as ourself. When we live out this pattern, we become Elohim\u2019s workmanship through Yeshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Grace\u2026 good works<\/em>.<\/strong> Grace is a free gift, but it demands a response that we might become the workmanship of Elohim and perform good works through our relationship with Yeshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Good works\u2026prepared<\/em>.<\/strong> Elohim prepared good works or a ministry for us to do before we were born. That\u2019s the outworking and divine enablement of his grace through us and the purpose of our salvation\u2014our spiritual destiny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Covenants of promise. <\/em><\/strong>There are three covenants to which Paul is referring here: they are the Abrahamic, Mosaic and Renewed Covenants. Paul mentions \u201ccovenants of promise\u201d (plural) in Eph 2:12 of which the ex-Genitles are now a part when they come to Messiah and become the one new man (v. 15), the seed or offspring of Abraham (Gal 3:29), part of the olive tree of Israel (Rom 11:11\u201332) and the Israel of Elohim (Gal 6:16). The mainstream church focuses only on \u201cthe New Covenant,\u201d while omitting and rejecting the first two covenants. Obviously, the exclusion of the first two covenants wasn\u2019t in Paul\u2019s thinking or else he would have said \u201ccovenant\u201d not \u201ccovenants.\u201d This is because the Word of Elohim never changes; his laws and standards are immutable. Therefore, each succeeding covenant is built upon the foundational truth of the previous covenant and is an expansion of the previous one (e.g. Isa 42:21).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those who are walking in accordance with Elohim\u2019s entire word including all three of his covenant are those that John describes as keeping the law and having the testimony or faith of Yeshua (i.e. they walk in accordance with the OT and NT covenants; Rev 12:17; 14:12).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It follows, therefore, that these saints are those who haven\u2019t bent the knee to Baal (i.e. they\u2019re not following the downward, gravitational pull of the carnal or evil inclination by following the world, the flesh and devil as does the world around them, and, for the those in churchianity, this includes all forms of Torahlessness, following Christo-pagan traditions, and whitewashed church doctrines of men by which the word of Elohim has been made of none effect). To wit, the number 7,000, as in the righteous saints who hadn\u2019t bowed the knee to Baal in the time of Elijah to which Elohim makes reference in 1 Kgs 18:18, has the following metaphorical or drash-level biblical meaning: seven is the biblical number of perfection, and the three zeros are the three covenants YHVH Elohim made with Israel to bring them into a relationship with them potentially ultimately leading to them becoming his glorified sons and daughters in his everlasting heavenly kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ephesians 2:12, <em>Without God.<\/em><\/strong> The Greek word here is <em>atheos <\/em>meaning \u201cwithout God.\u201d It can also mean \u201cdenying, failing to worship Elohim or God, ungodly or godless. The Gentiles in their unsaved state were essentially <em>atheists. <\/em>For this and other reasons, I refuse to refer to myself as a <em>Gentile<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'Spiritual Nuggets from Ephesians 1 and 2',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2021\/07\/20\/spiritual-nuggets-from-ephesians-1-and-2\/',contentID: 'post-19197',suggestTags: 'Ephesians 1,Ephesians 2',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ephesians 1 Ephesians 1:3, With every spiritual blessing.
