Colossians 1; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1; Ephesians 2; Colossians 1

Thank you, father, that by your grace you chose to qualify me to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. You have delivered me from the power of darkness, and you have conveyed me into the kingdom of your beloved son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

In Jesus I have redemption by his atoning sacrifice, and my sins are forgiven. By your grace, through faith in Jesus’s work, I am saved.

I once was alienated from you, father, sold out to wicked works and perverted lusts, but now you have opened my eyes and granted me repentance and true forgiveness.

Now I am filled with knowledge of your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. I am led by your Holy Spirit, father, and able to walk worthy of you, fully pleasing to you and fruitful in every good work.

For I am your workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which you, father, ordained beforehand that I would walk in. I am grounded and steadfast in Christ, and I am rooted in the hope of your gospel, father. I know the riches of your glory.
