“Long Ago, Even Before He
Made The World, God Chose Us To Be His Very Own Through What Christ Would Do
For Us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single
fault—we who stand before him covered with his love. His
unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending
Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to!”
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD
JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
Ephesians 1:1–12 (The Living Bible) 1 Dear Christian friends at Ephesus, ever loyal to the Lord: This is Paul writing to you, chosen by God to be Jesus Christ’s messenger. 2 May his blessings and peace be yours, sent to you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 3 How we praise God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every blessing in heaven because we belong to Christ. 4 Long ago, even before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love. 5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us. And he did this because he wanted to! 6 Now all praise to God for his wonderful kindness to us and his favor that he has poured out upon us because we belong to his dearly loved Son. 7 So overflowing is his kindness toward us that he took away all our sins through the blood of his Son, by whom we are saved; 8 and he has showered down upon us the richness of his grace—for how well he understands us and knows what is best for us at all times. 9 God has told us his secret reason for sending Christ, a plan he decided on in mercy long ago; 10 and this was his purpose: that when the time is ripe he will gather us all together from wherever we are—in heaven or on earth—to be with him in Christ forever. 11 Moreover, because of what Christ has done, we have become gifts to God that he delights in, for as part of God’s sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be his, and all things happen just as he decided long ago. 12 God’s purpose in this was that we should praise God and give glory to him for doing these mighty things for us, who were the first to trust in Christ.
Ephesians 1:13–14 (AMP) 13 In Him you also who have heard the Word of Truth, the
glad tidings (Gospel) of your salvation, and have believed in and
adhered to and relied on Him, were stamped with the seal of the
long-promised Holy Spirit. 14 That [Spirit] is the guarantee of
our inheritance [the firstfruits, the pledge and foretaste, the down payment on
our heritage], in anticipation of its full redemption and our acquiring
[complete] possession of it—to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:13–14 (ESV) 13 In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of
your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
14 who is the guarantee of
our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:18–23 (The Living Bible) 18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can
see something of the future he has called you to share. I want you to realize
that God has been made rich because we who are Christ’s have been given to him!
19 I pray that you will begin
to understand how incredibly great his power is to help those who believe him.
It is that same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and
seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in heaven, 21
far, far above any other king or ruler or dictator or leader. Yes, his honor is
far more glorious than that of anyone else either in this world or in the world
to come. 22 And God has put all things under his feet and made him
the supreme Head of the Church—23 which is his body, filled with
himself, the Author and Giver of everything everywhere.
Ephesians 2:1–10 (NKJV) 1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in
the sons of disobedience, 3 among whom also we all once conducted
ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of
the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others. 4
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved
us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together
with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us
up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in
Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding
riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9
not of works, lest anyone should boast. 10 For we are His
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand that we should walk in them.
[Please Note: Always Read the Word of God in Context,
reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to
give you the interpretation. 2
Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16
For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told
you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been
eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and
glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him
a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18
we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that
sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more
certainly guaranteed. Please pay
attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until
the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because
you recognize this truth above all else, that
no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21
for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by
the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living
Bible)9 Yet it was because of this that God raised
him up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
