The prophet grapples with the “mysteries of Providence,” and the age-old dilemma of reconciling the presence of evil with the existence of a good and all-powerful God. This is called “theodicy,” the “vindication of the justice and goodness of God in spite of the existence of evil in the world” (Webster’s Dictionary). Habakkuk clearly declares that the ultimate resolution of the dilemma is found only by a living faith (Hab 2:4) in a loving God (Hab 3:13).

This book contains the notes from the Orange County, California Bible conference held in August 2010.

Ephesians #31

Ephesians #31

You can lose eternal reward, but not eternal life. Sinners are saved by Grace through faith; salvation is a free gift. We are now "saints" -- set apart to God (Eph 5:3, 1Co 6:9-12, Eph 5:26). We used to be among "sons of disobedience" and "children of wrath" (Eph 2:1-2). However, when we believe what Christ has done, we should act differently (Eph 4:20, 2Co 5:14-15); we should not be partakers with unbelievers (Eph 5:7). Jesus came to give us abundant life (Joh 10:10). There's nothing you can do to gain eternal life -- a gap we cannot bridge (only Christ could). "Inherit" requires "merit" to gain reward -- "treasure in heaven" (Mar 10:17-24). We "inherit the Kingdom" when we surrender our life to Christ (Gal 5:19-21, Eph 5:1-7)

More than any book Ephesians reveals the blessings from God based on our relationship with Jesus Christ by grace through faith. Eph 1:3 is the a key verse. Other key verses by chapter include Eph 2:8 Eph 3:19 Eph 4:1 Eph 5:18 and Eph 6:10-11.
