Weekly Study Plan: Blessed with Every Spiritual Blessing
Focus Scripture
Ephesians 1:1-14
Key Themes:
- Spiritual Blessings in Christ: Paul opens with praise, emphasizing that God has blessed believers with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms (v. 3). These blessings are eternal and rooted in our relationship with Christ.
- Chosen and Adopted: God chose us before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in His sight. Through His love, He predestined us for adoption as His children, demonstrating His grace and purpose (vv. 4-6).
- Redemption and Forgiveness: Through Christ’s blood, we have redemption and the forgiveness of sins, revealing the riches of God’s grace lavished upon us (vv. 7-10).
- Sealed with the Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is a seal of our salvation and a guarantee of our inheritance, assuring us of God’s promises and securing our eternal hope (vv. 13-14).
