Ephesians 1-3

When we surrender to Christ we also join in fellowship with him.  God predetermined that fellowship be match his eternal intentions for children of Adam and Eve.  We are

·       holy and faultless (1:4). 

·       Sons of the inheritance (1:5).

·       Freed from sin (1:7).

·       Recipients of Gods secret plan (1:9

The fact that these traits are what God has always wanted for us should be a very encouraging message.  Even more encouraging is that Jesus sacrifice made the implementation of these realities in our lives possible.  Paul points back to these truths throughout his letter, so it is very important for us to grasp these truths from the start.
