Ephesians 1: Your Identity In Christ

August 18, 2024

Session 3

Review: Blessed In Christ: Chosen; Loved; Predestined; Accepted (Ephesians 1:3-6)

Ephesians 1:7 – Redeemed; Forgiven; Abounding Grace (See also Romans 5:17)

We were slaves! To our own broken condition: self-absorbed motives; unable to “fix me”; anger; guilt; shame; addictive behaviors; mindsets. (By nature, and by choice.)

Helpless, condemned, bound … trapped … BUT

We were Seen and Loved by God. Jesus redeemed, Bought us off the slave market by His own Blood! (Hebrews 9:12; Revelation 1:5)

Jesus paid the price of our ransom! We have to believe Him, trust Him, walk off the slave block and go home with Him! (Trust Him, submit to Him, admitting our need!

(See 2 Corinthians 5:17, 21 and Romans 5:17)
