This lesson begins our series in Ephesians with the Apostle Paul reminding believers that they are saints—holy and accepted in Christ. He praises God for blessing believers with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, including being chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world to stand holy and blameless before Him. God also predestined believers to the adoption of sons, granting them full rights and inheritance in Christ according to His good pleasure. Through Christ’s blood, believers have redemption and complete forgiveness, all flowing from the immeasurable riches of God’s grace.
