Ephesians chapter 1 verse

let these words so can

blessed be the God and father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ

with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the

foundation of the world that we should be holy and blameless before him.

In love, he predestined us for adoption to himself

as sons through Jesus Christ. according to the purpose of his will to the praise

of his glorious grace with which he has blessed us in the beloved.

Oh I can keep going on the next verses are just as awesome but

let that soak in. God in Christ has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

God shows us in Him before the foundation of the world.

I don't even know how to comprehend that and there's mystery here.

Even all this talk about predestination and choosing. So how does this work? I don't

understand how it all works, but I believe Ephesians 1, 3 through 6 here, that before a star was ever placed in the sky before the foundation of the world, God chose to pour out his love. And the sinners like me.

He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons that we would be his children that is something he set in motion

before I was even existent all to the praise of his glorious grace.

There is no other explanation. I have for my salvation.

You have for your salvation. The only answer when we say, how have you been saved from your sin it has nothing to do with any merit in us it is solely based on mercy and him so let's just pray through Ephesians 1 through 6 and praise God as we do. Bless God as we do. God together right now we bless you. You are the God and Father of our

Lord Jesus Christ. We glorify you and we praise you. We thank you for blessing us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the

heavenly places.

We don't even know how to comprehend what that means.
