Ephesians 1

Father, your grace is glorious. Thank you that, for your own reasons, you chose me to love. You determined, before the foundation of the world, that I would be holy and blameless before you, redeemed from and forgiven of my sins through Christ Jesus’s blood according to the riches of your grace which abounded to me.

You predestined me to be your child by adoption through the redeeming grace of Jesus and according to your good pleasure. Now, purely by grace, I’m accepted in the beloved. I am a child of God.

I am gathered together with all who are yours in Christ. In Christ, I have obtained an inheritance

You, Father, predestined me for all this new, eternal life according to your purposes. You worked out all things in my life and in your kingdom according to the council of your will. And so, today I live in the blessed hope of your calling and in the riches of the glory of being your inheritance.
