Ephesian 1: sprit of adoption

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 4 even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us[b] for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, 8which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight 9 making known[c] to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ 10as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth.


11In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, 12so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory. 13In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, 14who is the guarantee[d] of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it,[e] to the praise of his glory.



This Scripture should be something that we are excited about. There is what i got out of this scripture:
 
Blessed be our god and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ(in sense recongizing his glory and honour and goodness because the Father has blessed the believer with spirtual blessing.
 
Blessed-Praise with worshipping love.
 
Every Blessing we receive, we receive in christ. God wants bless us with every blessing available to us.
 
We are Chosen in Him, for if we chosen in christ, it is outside ourselves, It is not from sight of our deserving but because our heavenly father has engrafted through the blessing of adoption into the body of christ.
 
predestined-marked out beforehead
 
Believer in the Lord Jesus are not adopted into the family of god, they are born into the family. We are Family because we are covered in the blood of the cross.
 
accepted: highly favored or full of grace
 
observe, it is not redemption through his power, it is not redemption his power, it is not redemption through his love, it through his blood.
 
there is no possible redemption outside of Jesus and his redeeming blood.
 
Through his redemption and his blood we receive the riches of his grace.
 
Reveals to us the mystery of his will
 
gather together-to unite
 
You are sealed with the holy spirit of promise, God works is the sealing work of the holy spirit. His presence in the believer denotes ownership and security.
 
We don't deserve anything but we receive everything through his grace.
 
May we minsteries of his grace and truly believe in the power of his grace and redeeming blood. His Blood is the only one can change us and set us free. Do you believe in the power of the Cross and his redeeming blood? May you experience the power of his grace today some how.
