Ephesians
1:3-14
A single sentence in the Greek – a great
torrent of praise
V3 a headline / introduction: Praise God for
every “spiritual” blessing in Christ
A catalogue of blessings:
(1) Vv4-6: PAST blessings: chosen by God
the Father (v4) to be adopted as heirs (v5)
(2) Vv7-9: PRESENT blessings: redeemed by the
Son (v7). This is revealed to us (v9)
(3) Vv10-14: FUTURE blessings: all things
brought together under Christ (v10); a guaranteed inheritance (v14). In the
meantime we are included in Christ by faith and sealed with the Holy Spirit
(vv13-14)
