Ephesians 1

By your grace and for your purposes, Father, you chose me and determined to “put me in Christ” before the foundation of the world. You moved in my life and flesh in such a way that I would hear the gospel of your salvation, and I would believe your word and find it to be truth.

Through your gift of faith, I would receive Jesus as my savior, and you would fill me with your Holy Spirit, and I would be born from above.

Now, your Holy Spirit witnesses to me and leads me through your word. His presence in me is my guarantee that I belong to you; that I have been bought back from sin by the life of the Lord Jesus; that I am redeemed from death.

You, Father, are glorified by and in my redemption. Thank you for saving me.
