VERSES FROM THE HOLY BIBLE:

EPHESIANS 1:5-14

5 His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into His own family by sending Jesus Christ to die for us .And He did this because he wanted to.
6 Now all praise to GOD for His wonderful kindness to us and His favor that He has poured out upon us,because we belong to His dearly beloved Son.
7 So overflowing is His kindness toward us that he took away all our sins through the blood of his Son,by whom we are saved;
8 And he has showered down upon us the richness of His grace for how well He understands us and knows what is best for us at all times.
9 GOD has told us his secret reason for sending Christ,a plan He decided on in mercy a long ago;
10 And this was His purpose that when the time is ripe He will gather us all together from wherever we are in heaven on earth to be with Him in Christ ,forever.
11 Moreover,because of what Christ has done we have become gifts to GOD that he delights in,for as part of GOD's sovereign plan we were chosen from the beginning to be His,and all things happen just as He decided long ago.
12 GOD's purpose in this was that we should praise GOD and give glory to Him for doing this mighty things for us,who were the first to trust Christ.
13 And because of what Christ did,all you others too,who heard the good news about how to be saved,and trusted Christ ,were mark us belonging to Christ by the Holy Spirit ,who long ago had been promise to all of us Christians.
14 His presence within us is GOD's guarantee that he really will give us all he promised;and the Spirits seal upon us means that GOD has already purchased us and that He guarantees us to bring us to Himself.This is just one more reason for us to praise our glorious GOD.
