Eph 3:14-15 (NIV) For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name.
NOTE: It is easy to forget that as adopted sons and daughters, we are part of a larger family. We have an inheritance, but we also inherit a name. Our new last name is God's. I'm not sure how it is pronounced or said, but the fact remains, our new name is derived from God. When people see me, it is not just my name that I represent, but it is God's name. My actions reflect upon my family, the family of God, the true church, those who share in Christ, Jew and Gentile. I don't think we are truly captured with that thought or the magnitude of the truth. If we really let it sink in, it ought to radically affect how we live our lives in this world.
