Pastor Joel Santti: Ephesians 1
1:3 - believer blessed with "all spiritual blessings" in Christ.
1:4 - believer "chosen in him" before foundation of the world.
chosen also to be "holy and without blame" before Him. (see also Rom. 8:28-29).
1:5 - believer "predestinated" unto adoption.
adoption brings inheritance.
1:6 - believer "accepted" in Christ.
1:7 - believer has "redemption through his blood", and the forgiveness of sins.
1:9 - believer has had God's will made known to them.
this true in a general (broad) sense as well as in a (individual) specific sense.
1:13 - believer has been sealed by the Holy Spirit.
1:14 - believer has Holy Spirit given in part as an "earnest" of our inheritance.
