What
the Bible Says about
Redemption in Christ
Redemption
in Christ
Ephesians 1:3-14
3 "Blessed
be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with
every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4
just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that
we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5
having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself,
according to the good pleasure of His will, 6
to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted
in the Beloved. 7 In Him we have redemption through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom
and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according
to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, 10 that in the dispensation
of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things
in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined
according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the
counsel of His will, 12 that we who first trusted
in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. 13
In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with
the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee
of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
to the praise of His glory."
