Summary
Ephesians 1 teaches Christians their identity in Christ: chosen before creation, adopted as God's sons and daughters, redeemed by Christ's blood, forgiven, and guaranteed an inheritance through the Holy Spirit. The pastor emphasizes that believers must understand who God says they are and live out that reality daily.
Highlights
You are who God says you are. The world is giving you all kinds of messages about who you are, but you gotta remind yourself of who you are. You gotta say it to yourself again and get the truth of God's word in your life over and over and over.
God chose you to change you. Your whole life is a process of God drawing you to Jesus Christ, and even after you get saved, He is consistently drawing you closer to Him, drawing you back to Him again and again and again.
You can be redeemed by the cross of Jesus Christ and your whole life changed by the blood of Jesus today. That is the glory of the gospel—God stepped in when you couldn't step in.
