God's Plan of Salvation
Ephesians 1:3-7

Blessed be the God and Father*
of our Lord Jesus Christ
who has blessed us in Christ*
with all the spiritual blessings of heaven.

God chose us in Christ*
before the world was made
to be holy and blameless,*
and to live by his love in his presence.

God planned through Jesus Christ*
to bring us to himself as his children,
that we might praise the glory of his grace,*
his free gift to us in the Beloved.

In Christ we gain redemption;*
through his blood our sins are forgiven.
How rich is the grace of God!
