Ephesians 1:7-23 ESV
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,which he lavished
upon us, in all wisdom and insight making known to us the mystery of
his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ as a plan
for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and
things on earth.In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been
predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things
according to the counsel of his will,so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his
glory.For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord
Jesus and your love toward all the saints,I do not cease to give
thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,that the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him,having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the
saints,and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward
us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he
worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at
his right hand in the heavenly places,far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church,which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
1) Christ set us free from sin so that we can become a
child of God.
2) It’s when we are at our weakest, that His strength
and His glorious grace shine the brightest.
3) Your inheritance in Christ is incorruptible and
undefiled because the Holy Spirit has sealed it.
4) One of the most important aspects of Christian life
is possessing the true knowledge of God.
5) My only help and only hope of ever knowing God is
through revelation of the Spirit.
