Ephesians 1:3-10
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual
blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the
world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us
to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his
pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has
freely given us in the One he loves. In him we have redemption through
his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of
God's grace that he lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding.
And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good
pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the
times will have reached their fulfillment—to bring all things in heaven
and on earth together under one head, even Christ
You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood,
God's own special people. You once were not a people but are now the
people of God. Jesus has made you kings and priests to His God and
Father. You are loved by the Father. The love of God has been poured out
in your heart by the Holy Spirit who was given to you. You belong to God
and He belongs to you. You are the beloved of God. You are your
Beloved's and He is yours, and His desire is toward you. You are a
saint.
You have been saved by Christ's life. You have been
made alive together with Him. Christ is your life. You reign in life
through Him. You have been sanctified in Him. You are the temple of God
in which the Spirit of God indwells. Christ is in you. You are a holy
temple of God. You are Christ's house. Inwardly, you are being renewed
day by day.
Your sins have not only been forgiven; they have
been taken away. You are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the
heavenly places in Christ. You are holy and blameless before Him. You
have been perfected forever. You have been brought near to God by the
blood of Christ. In Christ you approach God with freedom, boldness and
confidence. You were bought with a price. You are a citizen of heaven,
and you are seated with Christ in the heavenly realm.
You are a new creation. He has given you a new
birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus from the
dead, into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. You have
been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through
the word of God which lives and abides forever. You are shielded by
God's power.
You are a child of God... an actual child of God...
through faith in Christ Jesus.
As a legitimate child, you are qualified to share
in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. You have been
delivered from the domain of darkness and transferred into the kingdom
of God's beloved Son.
