If predestination is to be believed, then not everyone can be saved. Christ died for all men. Those who come to the revelation of Christ and His work are predestined for His blessings and promises. Comforting in the fact we have the opportunity to believe in Him, we are destined to live with God our Father and Christ forever in His kingdom. My only thought of praising God in the hearing of the Ephesians, could possibly be that the Ephesians had many false gods. Paul was declaring the One and only True God.

As freeing the Israelite's from slavery in Egypt the Lord adopted them as his very own people, dedicated to Him for his glory. Acknowledging what Christ has accomplished for us and accepting Him as our Lord and savior, God our Father has adopted us as his son's and daughters. Knowing that His mercy and ever loving kindness has put us into adoption as his own, we look forward to an everlasting life with Him.

Being holy we are justified and sanctified by our Lord Jesus. Because He became sin for us and paid our debt for those sins, since we are blameless before God

To be in Christ that He first loved us and that we may live in this love through Him. Incorporated with Him we share His love and blessing He has given us. He shed His blood for sin's and was raised from the dead. This He did for us so that we may have a victorious life. Implications in my life is that I may learn to live a fruitful life through His love and blessings and share that with others.
