Ephesians 1 Summary

Ephesians 1 praises God for every spiritual blessing in Christ—chosen, adopted, redeemed, and sealed with the Spirit.

Paul bursts into praise for God’s blessings: he chose us before creation, adopted us as children, and redeemed us through Christ’s blood.

Believers are ‘marked with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,’ and Paul prays they would know the hope and power that are theirs in Christ.
