The Mystery Of His Will
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us. With
all wisdom and understanding, he made known to us the mystery of his will
according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into
effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in
heaven and on earth under Christ.
In him
we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who
works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that
we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of
his glory. 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, who is a deposit guaranteeing our
inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the
praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:7-14
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can
boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 2:8-9
God paid the price of our sins by sacrificing His Son, Jesus
Christ. Jesus died for our sins so we could be saved, so that we would spend
eternity in heaven.
Jesus paid the price in full by His crucifixion over 2,000 years
ago.
Salvation is free, but you must receive it.
