I love this first chapter of Ephesians. Just look at all that God has given us “in Christ.” He has given us EVERY spiritual blessing. He
Chose us in Christ
To be holy and blameless
In love he predestined us
To be adopted as sons and daughters
Gave us
His glorious grace freely
Redemption
Forgiveness
Lavished us with God’s grace
Revealed the mystery of his will to us
Predestined to work out everything for us
For the praise of his glory
Included in Christ
Marked with the Holy Spirit
A deposit guaranteeing our inheritance
Wow! What a list! All this we are freely given because of Christ. What Christ has done has made us spiritually rich beyond our wildest dreams. Our lives are made rich for the praise of his glory… a win-win situation!
