Before the foundation of the world, God chose me- He predestined me to adoption as a daughter through Jesus Christ.
My redemption is in His blood. In Him I am forgiven because of the riches of His grace that He lavished on me. He has sealed me with His Holy Spirit- who gives me wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
Daily, the eyes of my heart are being enlightened so that I will know what is the hope of His calling and the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe.
Even when I was dead in my sin, God made me alive together with Christ. By His grace I am saved- and raised with Him and seated with Him in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus. This has nothing to do with my works- it is His gift. He created me in Christ Jesus for good works that He prepared beforehand so I would walk in them.
God is able to do far more abundantly beyond all that I ask or think-according to the power that works within us- to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever!
