This message continues our study of Ephesians 1 by focusing on verses 4–6 and the glorious grace of God revealed in salvation. Rather than treating these verses as theological battlegrounds, Paul presents them as reasons for worship. Before the foundation of the world, God graciously purposed that all who are in Christ would stand before Him holy and blameless. The sermon explores God's sovereign work, mankind's responsibility to believe the gospel, and the security believers have because their standing before God is based on Christ's perfect righteousness—not their own performance. Every spiritual blessing flows from God's gracious heart and should lead us to greater praise, deeper humility, and renewed confidence in the finished work of Jesus Christ.
