"Praise be to the God and Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed me in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose me in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight.
In love, he predestined me for adoption to be his daughter/son through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given me in the One he loves.
In him I have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he has lavished on me. With all wisdom and understanding, he made known to me the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.
In him I was chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that I might be for the praise of his glory. I was included in Christ when I heard the message of truth, the gospel of my salvation. When I believed, I was marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing my inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory."
-Ephesians 1: 3-14
In Jesus' name I declare this truth over and into you and me.
Amen <3
