—Ephesians 1:1-14

There a lot to process in these verses about the spiritual blessings we receive in Jesus Christ. What speaks to my heart the most is that we have been chosen. You and I were chosen, in Christ, “before the foundation of the world” (v.4), to be holy, blameless, adopted, redeemed through His blood, and forgiven, to receive an inheritance, and to be sealed in the Holy Spirit—all to the praise of His glory. God’s divine, redemptive purpose throughout history, traced throughout Scripture, is to bring about His new Kingdom in Jesus Christ and you are part of that divine plan!
