"All the broken & dislocated pieces of the universe, people & things, animals & atoms, get properly fixed & fit together in vibrant harmonies all because of His death" ~TPT
1. Ephesians 1: 5-11
"He pre-destined us to be adopted by Himself as sons through Jesus Christ--such being His gracious will and pleasure-- to the praise of the splendour of His grace with which He has enriched us in the beloved One. It is in Him, and through the shedding of His blood, that we have our deliverance--the forgiveness of our offences--so abundant was God's grace, the grace which He, the possessor of all wisdom and understanding, lavished upon us, when He made known to us the secret of His will. And this is in harmony with God's merciful purpose for the government of the world when the times are ripe for it--the purpose which He has cherished in His own mind of restoring the whole creation to find its one Head in Christ; yes, things in Heaven and things on earth, to find their one Head in Him. In Him we have been made heirs, having been chosen beforehand in accordance with the intention of Him whose might carries out in everything the design of His own will, so that we should be devoted to the extolling of His glorious attributes--we who were the first to fix our hopes on Christ."
You have omitted the first 2 verses which clearly show that Paul is NOT saying this to all the world but only to "the saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus:"FineLinen said:1. Ephesians 1: 5-11

Fixed and Fit together????"All the broken & dislocated pieces of the universe, people & things, animals & atoms, get properly fixed & fit together in vibrant harmonies all because of His death" ~TPT
27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;2. Acts 17:26
“He has made of one blood, all nations of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth.”
Or, He can do whatever He wants.Behold, all souls are mine,” says the Lord. “As the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine.” (Ezek. 18:4)
What a bizarre misquote!6. John 6:37
“All that the Father gives me, shall come to me, and he that comes to me I will in nowise cast out.”
These three propositions are evidence of the final happiness of all men.
1st. God has given all things to Christ.
Malachi 2:4. Mal. 2:19
“Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?”
John 4:9. “My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.” John 4:34
This is vanity for those who oppose His Will.7. “Who will have all mankind to be saved, and come unto the knowledge of the truth.” 1 Tim. 2:4
All mankind is undoubtedly to be understood as all the human race.
