Redemption in Christ
3#2 Cor. 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4just as #Rom. 8:28He chose us in Him #1 Pet. 1:2before the foundation of the world, that we should #Luke 1:75be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5#Acts 13:48; (Rom. 8:29)having predestined us to #John 1:12adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, #(1 Cor. 1:21)according to the good pleasure of His will, 6to the praise of the glory of His grace, #(Rom. 3:24)by which He made us accepted in #Matt. 3:17the Beloved.
7#(Heb. 9:12)In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to #(Rom. 3:24, 25)the riches of His grace 8which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9#(Rom. 16:25)having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure #(2 Tim. 1:9)which He purposed in Himself, 10that in the dispensation of #Gal. 4:4the fullness of the times #1 Cor. 3:22He might gather together in one #Eph. 3:15; (Phil. 2:9; Col. 1:16, 20)all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. 11#Rom. 8:17In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to #Is. 46:10the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, 12#2 Thess. 2:13that we #James 1:18who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
13In Him you also trusted, after you heard #John 1:17the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, #(2 Cor. 1:22)you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14#2 Cor. 5:5who is the guarantee of our inheritance #Rom. 8:23until the redemption of #(Acts 20:28)the purchased possession, #1 Pet. 2:9to the praise of His glory.
Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom
15Therefore I also, #Col. 1:4; Philem. 5after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16#Rom. 1:9do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17that #John 20:17; Rom. 15:6the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, #Is. 11:2; Col. 1:9may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18#Acts 26:18; 2 Cor. 4:6; Heb. 6:4the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is #Eph. 2:12the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, 19and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, #Col. 2:12according to the working of His mighty power 20which He worked in Christ when #Acts 2:24He raised Him from the dead and #Ps. 110:1seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, 21#Is. 9:6, 7; Luke 1:32, 33; Phil. 2:9, 10; Rev. 19:12far above all #(Rom. 8:38, 39)principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.
22And #Ps. 8:6; 110:1; Matt. 28:18; 1 Cor. 15:27He put all things under His feet, and gave Him #Heb. 2:7to be head over all things to the church, 23#Rom. 12:5which is His body, #Col. 2:9the fullness of Him #(1 Cor. 12:6)who fills all in all.
