Ephesians 1:3-5* God chose me because of his grace (I don't deserve to be chosen) and because of what Jesus did for me. My salvation depends entirely on God. (election, predestination)

3. How did faith come into my heart? c. Romans 5:5* Because God chose me, he sent the Holy Spirit through the Gospel to create faith in my heart Election: The Bible teaching that in Jesus God's good will freely chose me by grace (I don't deserve to be chosen).
