First Baptist Church Thomson, Ga

Ephesians 1:1–14 reminds us that before God calls us to do anything for Him, He wants us to understand all He has already done for us in Christ. In one sweeping song of praise, Paul celebrates the work of the Triune God in our salvation: the Father chose us, the Son redeemed us, and the Holy Spirit sealed us, guaranteeing the inheritance still to come. Every one of these blessings is ours “in Christ,” given according to the riches of God’s grace and ultimately “to the praise of His glory.” Rather than living as though we are spiritually poor, believers can rejoice that God has already blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ.
