—Ephesians 1:1-14
by: Gabi Patz.
Often in gym class, the teacher would select two captains who would take turns choosing team members. You always hoped to be picked first, or at least not to be picked last. Ephesians 1:1-14 tells us that we are God’s first pick. He chose us before He created the world and predestined us to be His children. But that is not all! In addition to choosing us, He redeemed us, revealed the mystery of His will, provided us with His inheritance, and sealed us with His Holy Spirit. And the best part? We do not have to do anything to earn it. God made this possible through Jesus, who unified all things in heaven and on earth. All we have to do is put our faith in Him.
