According to the good pleasure of His will,

• He has blessed us generously in Christ.
• He has chosen us in Christ.
• He has adopted us by Christ.
• He has graced us in Christ.

So that we should live before Him in holiness, in blamelessness, and in love — manifesting the praiseworthy glory of His grace.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

(Ephesians 1:3-6)

Yes, blessed be God!

He deserves that I live before Him that way. I renew my commitment to Him for that.

“The faithful in Christ Jesus”
