Election & Christ's Incarnation - Pastor Patrick Hines (Ephesians 1:4-11)

4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before *Him. In love 5 *He predestined us to adoption as sons [and daughters] through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved. 7 In *Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He *lavished on *us. In all wisdom and insight 9 He *made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He set forth in Him, 10 regarding [His] plan of the fullness of the times, to bring all things together in Christ, things *in the heavens and things on the earth. 11 In Him we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will (Ephesians 1:4-11 / New American Standard Bible / NASB)
