This episode looks at a quote from John Piper about election in Ephesians 1 and discusses the issues with the perspective that he teaches. In Christianity today many of the most popular and prominent Christian teachers are teaching a Calvinistic interpretation of the Bible.

Being chosen by God is a spiritual blessing, and Ephesians 1 says that God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing IN CHRIST. This means that the moment in time where believers receive every spiritual blessing (including being chosen) is the point in time when we come to be in union with Jesus Christ.
