In Ephesians 1:1-14, Paul lays out one of the most joyful descriptions of the benefits the Trinity has provided for us in the working out of the Gospel. Yet, this passage pulls the curtains back on a window that peeks into the outside-of-time mechanics of God's plan of salvation. In a couple of sentences, Paul touches on some concepts that will take an eternity to understand and unpack, namely predestination and our faith. Today, Pastor Steve helps us unpack these two tensions and lands where good theology often does: both/and. God has chosen us AND we choose to believe.
