Memesplanation Short: Ephesians 1:3-4

Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished upon us as a love gift from our wonderful heavenly Father, the Father of our Lord Jesus—all because he sees us wrapped into Christ. This is why we celebrate him with all our hearts!
And in love he chose us before he laid the foundation of the universe! Because of his great love, he ordained us, so that we would be seen as holy in his eyes with an unstained innocence.
Epehesians 1:3-4
Today, we open our series on Ephesians. It will be very high level, with only 3 passages per chapter per week. Today’s snapshot comes from the first few verses of the letter, and they set the tone for the whole thing, if you ask me. We are in Christ and receive every spiritual blessing because of that reality. We were chosen and our wonderful Father sees us as set apart for Him in Christ. We are holy. How does that strike you?
