Ephesians 1: Glorious Grace!

Ephesians opens with a majestic outpouring of praise toward God and His glorious grace!  Paul quickly recounts all the spiritual blessings that the Ephesians (and all Christians) have in Christ:

• We were chosen (before the foundation of the world) to be holy and blameless.
• We were destined for adoption as His children.
• We have redemption.
• We have forgiveness of our sins.
• We have knowledge of God's will.
• We have obtained an inheritance to live for the praise of His glory.
• We were marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit.

What a catalog of blessings!  Along with Paul, let us praise God for His glorious grace!
