Eph 1, Romans 5

From before the foundation of the world, father, you chose me to be in Christ and saved me from your wrath. You chose me to be your child and a joint heir with Jesus.  Through Jesus’ life and atoning death and resurrection you saved me from sin’s condemnation and its bondage. You reconciled me to you.  Your grace, father, and the free gift, by the grace of my Lord and Savior, Jesus, the Christ, has abounded to me and to many others. It is a free gift that brings justification.

All who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus, my Lord and Savior. By his obedience many are made righteous. Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, so that as sin reigned in death, grace also reigned through righteousness and led to eternal life through Jesus Christ, my Lord. I am raised from the dead by your glory, father, to walk in the newness of life.
