In Ephesians 1, Paul talks about the inheritance we have in Christ. God gives us all the blessings that he gives Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 1:4, Paul talks about how God chose us before the foundation of the world. This is a important concept that we need to remind ourselves of. We are given these blessings by God through being adopted by God and we were sealed by the Holy Spirit.
Ephesians 2, Paul talks about another product of this inheritance the grace given to us by faith in Jesus Christ. Grace is unmerited favor toward someone. Grace is a free gift of God given to us when we come to faith in Jesus Christ. We are made alive in God through Jesus' death on the cross for our sins. Grace is not something we have to work for or earn but it is a product of a faithfulness and maturity in Jesus Christ.
So, remember these concepts as we end the week. These are important concepts to remember about our life in Jesus Christ. These are important to know and remember as we live out our Christian faith.
