Ephesians 1:15-21 (ESV) - 15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you.

5 Invitations of God

1. God has invited me to SALVATION.

Hebrews 2:3 (NLT) - 3 So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak?

John 3:16-17 (NLT) - 16 "For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 God sent his Son into the world not to judge the world, but to save the world through him.

2. God has invited me to RIGHTEOUSNESS.

2 Corinthians 5:21 (NASB95) - 21 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

3. God has invited me to RELATIONSHIP.

1 John 5:20 (NLT) - 20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and he has given us understanding so that we can know the true God. And now we live in fellowship with the true God because we live in fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ. He is the only true God, and he is eternal life.

4. God has invited me to DISCIPLESHIP.

Matthew 11:29-30 (NLT) - 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

5. God has invited me to ETERNAL LIFE.

John 14:2-3 (NLT) - 2 There is more than enough room in my Father's home. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am.
