Ephesians 3:14-15
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named

When you read Acts 3:2-6, you will see the boldness and simplicity with which Peter and John used the name of Jesus to help that lame man at the Beautiful Gate. They used it as one would use a pen belonging to them.

I told you, one of the privileges you have when you are born into God’s family is the access and use of the name of Jesus. It’s a family name and you have been named with it. So Ephesians 3:15 says,
“our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom THE WHOLE FAMILY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH IS NAMED”

When you are born into a royal family, you are identified with royalty by the royal name given to you. You simply take on the name of the family you are born into, that’s why most of us have surnames from our father’s house. Some names carry so much weight and access, others don’t. Do you know there are places you go to that just the mention of your name will open the doors? “Oh, you are the son of the former president. You can enter.” Yet for some other names, not even the kitchen doors will open. Unfortunately for some, certain doors are shut without any wrongdoing of theirs but because of the pain the name they bear brings to the people.

But thanks be to God that it doesn’t matter what your surname is, WHEN YOU WERE BORN AGAIN, YOU WERE BORN INTO GOD’S OWN FAMILY AND YOU WERE NAMED WITH A NEW NAME OF POWER. The question is, do you know what that name is worth? Do you? Selah!
Have a beautiful week in His name. AMEN.
