Ephesians 1:4-14 cont 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

All of those things; justification, forgiveness, adoption, reconciliation and red emption are provided because Jesus paid the price. Do you understand that? We are accused but He bore our punishment so we can be set free. We are debtors, He paid our debt. We are strangers but He is a Son and we are in Him made sons. We are enemies but He is a friend and we in Him are friends of God. We are slaves but He has bought our freedom, you see.

US in Ephesians 2:1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2:2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 2:11Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)—

US in Ephesians 2:12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 4:17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 4:18 They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.

Redeemed--how I love to proclaim it Redeemed--how I love to proclaim it! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb; Redeemed through His infinite mercy, His child, and forever, I am.     Redeemed, redeemed,     Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;     Redeemed, redeemed,       His child, and forever, I am.

Redeemed and so happy in Jesus, No language my rapture can tell; I know that the light of His presence With me doth continually dwell. Redeemed, redeemed,     Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;     Redeemed, redeemed,       His child, and forever, I am.

I think of my blessed Redeemer, I think of Him all the day long; I sing, for I cannot be silent; His love is the theme of my song. Redeemed, redeemed,     Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;     Redeemed, redeemed,       His child, and forever, I am.

I know I shall see in His beauty The King in whose way I delight; Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps, And giveth me songs in the night.     Redeemed, redeemed,     Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;     Redeemed, redeemed,       His child, and forever, I am.
