Rooted in Christ

Ephesians 1:1-14

These are spiritual blessings from God:

I'm chosen

I'm made blameless. 

I'm adopted.

I'm redeemed (saved) from the darkness, the laws, and sins.

I'm forgiven. 

I'm at peace with God and others.

I'm sealed with the Love of God.

WHY?

Am I sealed with the Love of God:

Ephesians, Chapter 1:

It’s according to his love. (1:4)

Because he is rich in grace. (1:7)

It’s his his eternal purpose. (1:5, 8, 11)

So that his glory will be praised. (1:14)

Chapter 2

He is Rich in Mercy (2:4)

Because of his great love (2:4)

Because of immeasurable grace and kindness (2:5)

It’s a gift (2:8)

So that we would walk in good works (2:10)
