Ephesians: Life Together In Christ | Knowing Your Destiny (1:3-6)

Ephesians 1:1-6

“Desire that your life count for something great! Long for your life to have eternal significance. Want this! Don’t coast through life without a passion.” — John Piper

God in His ‘good pleasure’ and for His glory has both sealed and revealed the destiny of all who are ‘in Christ’…

Romans 8:29-30, 31-32, 38-39 // 2 Thessalonians 2:13 // James 2:5 // John 15:16 // Deuteronomy 7:6-8

“I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite sure that if God had not chosen me I should never have chosen him; and I am sure he chose me before I was born, or else he never would have chosen me afterwards; and he must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love.” — Charles Spurgeon
