Part-3 Descriptions: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as He hath chosen us in Him BEFORE the foundation (the creation) of the world, that we should be HOLY and without blame (blameless) before Him in love: Having predestinated us unto the ADOPTION of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved. In whom we have redemption (been made whole) through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace; wherein he hath abounded toward us (lavished on us) in all wisdom and prudence (carefulness, understanding); having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in himself: That in the dispensation of the fulness of times (to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment) he might gather together in one all things ( to bring all things) in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the WORD of TRUTH, the GOSPEL of YOUR SALVATION: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were SEALED with that Holy Spirit of promise, which is the earnest of (a deposit guaranteeing) our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased (Gods) possession, unto the praise of His glory. (KJV Ephesians 1:3-14). Ephesians 2:6-10, 18-22; 6: And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: (And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus; we are still waiting for this to happen, the same thing with being born again, born from above or born of the Spirit; our unshakeable faith and living hope based in it.) 7: That in the ages (time) to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9: Not of works (your own works), lest any man should boast. 10: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works (to do good works or being obedience to Gods Commandments), which God hath before ordained (prepared in advance) that we should walk in (follow) them. (Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.) 18: For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. 19: Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20: And are built upon the foundation (unswerving faith and good works) of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21: In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: (How can you grow in holiness if you continue to live in disobedience to the commandments, which means you are a habitual sinner and in danger of committing an eternal sin of blasphemy?) 22: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (If your sins are not forgiven and you continuously disobey or committed sins, being filthy or unholy you cannot be a temple of the Holy Spirit; you will never receive the Holy Spirit but what you have is the deceiving spirit. Both the literal Israelites and the Gentiles who turned Spiritual became one—ADOPTED children of God and considered chosen children of Abraham in accordance to the promise. Receiving the Holy Spirit is the seal of ADOPTION (a deposit guaranteeing) and having the right to call God Abba Father and becoming heir of the promised.
