Loved and chosen…

“ Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ.

This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. 

So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son. 

He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.

He has showered his kindness on us, along with all wisdom and understanding.”

Ephesians 1:4-8

Still following,

Elizabeth

  1. Now, I'm going to have to check my online Bible to find which version that is that you used. It's so beautifully written.

    "This is what He wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure"

    I also hate to answer your question on this beautiful scripture post, but I wanted to be sure that you saw it. Yes, kindred soul, I get lost in parking lots too! So I'll follow you... you follow me... and we can have a wonderful time driving around in circles together!
