DEVOTION#2 PARTAKING IN THE SON OF GOD AND DEVOTION #3 ADOPTED INTO GOD'S FAMILY

Ephesians 1:6King James Version (KJV)

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

Ephesians 1:6The Message (MSG)

The God of Glory

3-6 How blessed is God! And what a blessing he is! He’s the Father of our Master, Jesus Christ, and takes us to the high places of blessing in him. Long before he laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love, to be made whole and holy by his love. Long, long ago he decided to adopt us into his family through Jesus Christ. (What pleasure he took in planning this!) He wanted us to enter into the celebration of his lavish gift-giving by the hand of his beloved Son.
