Election, Adoption, Redemption: Ephesians 1 | Lance English

Can a Christian lose their salvation? Ephesians 1 answers that question by lifting our eyes away from ourselves and fixing them on the work of our Triune God. Before Paul gives a single command, he spends an entire chapter praising God for everything He has already accomplished in Christ. From election before the foundation of the world to the promised inheritance still to come, salvation is presented as God's work from beginning to end. Lance English will discuss: • Why Ephesians 1 begins with praise • Every spiritual blessing in Christ • Election before the foundation of the world • Adoption into God's family • Redemption through Christ's blood • The Father's plan, the Son's work, and the Spirit's seal • Assurance of salvation • Why God's grace deserves all the glory The Christian life doesn't begin by looking inward. It begins by looking to Christ and resting in what God has already accomplished through His grace.
