Ephesians Chapter 1 is one of the most amazing chapters in the Bible because it reveals that God had purposed long ago to redeem us. This plan was written before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4), which means before we were even born. How amazing that God “chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him” (Ephesians 1:4). So we know for certain that God is always in control. start you 2018 with this in mind
