Ephesians 1: 4-7
According as He hath chosen us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him, in love having predestinated us unto the adoption of sons by JESUS Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, through which He hath made us accepted in the Beloved; in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
JESUS PAID IT ALL; ALL TO HIM I OWE
There are a few words in this Scripture which need defining, so that we are not confused: 1. predestine, means to mark out or determine beforehand. 2. adoption, is from the Greek "huiothesia" which means, place as a son. 3. redemption, means to buy back, pay the price for a person, or thing. 4. forgiveness, the born again believer is forgiven of present and future sin through confession. This is different from "remission" of sin, which is the blotting out of past sin, all the way back to Adam, when we are born again and the Blood of JESUS wipes away all sin. All of this has been put in place by the Grace of GOD for us.
The plan of salvation was set before the foundation of the world; before the universe was spoken into existence. The Grace of GOD was and is without end, His love has always been and will always be. That grace had a great price for GOD, the cost for our redemption was HIS ONLY SON, JESUS. Whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life, because of His willing sacrifice for the "propitiation" of our sin. "Propitiation" means substitute or to appease an offense. JESUS is the mercy seat upon which is the Blood of the Lamb of GOD, JESUS, was poured. He is our substitute, upon whom was laid all the sin of the world and through Him was justification made. He is the only way to the Father and through Him we are made a part of the Beloved.
COME UNTO HIM, ALL YE WHO LABOR AND ARE HEAVY OF HEART AND HE WILL GIVE YOU REST.
