How God has Loved us Ephesians 1:3-9, 13-14; 18-23

Every Spiritual blessing in heaven is ours thru Christ God is love. He creates, gives and blesses. 1 John 4:7, 16 Revealed as loving Father. Every blessing ours in Christ. How do we “lay hold” of the riches of God’s blessings?

Thinking about Gods love – Ephesians 3:16-19; according to’s: The kind intention of his will, 1:5, 9 glorifying purpose,1:11 grace given by His power, 3:7 glory of grace, 1:6 riches of grace, 1:7 grace given by the measure of Christ’s gift, 4:7 lavished upon us, 1:8 mystery of his will made known to us, 1:9 rich in mercy to us 2:4

Chosen by god “to be known” before anything was made. Eph 1:4 – God created with relationship in mind: chosen - to be holy and blameless. 2 Thess 2:13 – salvation is God’s plan. The “Fall” was not a surprise to God. Chosen – to experience life. Isaiah 53:5, Eph 2:4-6

“enrolled” before anything was made. Luke 10:19-20; Eph 1:4 Rev 13:8 “…everyone [who worships the false deity of the end times] whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.” Rev 17:8; 2 Thess 2:13.

Heaven “designed” with you in mind. John 17:24, “… I desire that… they be with me” John 14:1-3,”… I go to prepare a place for you…that where I am you may be also.” Matt 25:34, “…inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

God’s love moved him to adopt us and make us family. Predestined to adoption because of love. Eph 1:5, John 1:12-13; Rom 8:16. “Beloved.” Righteousness of Christ is mine. Eph 1:4, 2 Cor 5:21 Forgiveness purchased by Christ. Eph 1:7 Life. Eph 2:4-6

Permanently “seal us” by giving us proof of his future plan. Ephesians 1:13-14 Given as a pledge by God Jesus will return to receive us Give us our inheritance.
