God the Father had decided to adopt as His children only those who believe in Jesus Christ.. All of u must grasp and believe that it is only in His Son that God has prepared to save us from sin. If we don't realize that God predestined us out of His grace to be save from all the sins of the world through Jesus Christ's righteousness; we will succumb to a great misunderstanding and will suffer forever.
God said that all of us who believe in the righteousness of Jesus have become His glory and also that our salvation is His joy! All of us who have been saved throught the Gospel are God's glory and His great work. The salvation He has given us is out of His mercy and is His exceeding great gift and is the greatest gift of His merciful love.
Ephesians 1:11 says, "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will." This shows us that our salvation was achieved according to the will of God. We believers have become God's possessions. We have put on His grace to become His children according to the counsel of His will.
We have not become God's children under the influence of something other than the righteousness of God, but rather, we become His children all thanks to the righteousness of Jesus by believing in His righteousness according to the Father's desire.
Since we have been saved by His righteousness, this salvation is completely perfect.Our salvation is great and perfect. The God-given grace of salvation is infinitely abundant and knows no bounds.

Jesus Christ has saved us from all our sins with the price of His own life. As we now believe in the Gospel we have all been saved from each and every sin of this world and this salvation of ours was entirely fulfilled according to the good pleasure of God, whose will was for Jesus to take all our sins upon His body. And because we believe in this Truth, we know that the will of God has been fulfilled.
Our salvation was achieved according to the plan of God in the fullness of times. In His light, it's very fortunate that we were born in this present age. Therefore, as all of us living in this present age, we have been saved from all our sins. Throughout all the ages, of both New and Old Testaments, God had prepared Salvation for the entire human race and He has now made it possible for everyone to be saved just by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ.
It's written in Ephesians 1:10, "That He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven an which are on earth." This means that God saved us to raise our status to be the same as His. He has given us the gift of salvation so that our lives would be transformed into glorious lives in Heaven.

Ephesians 1:9-10.
Our salvation was fulfilled according to God's plan in the fullness of times. That is why we have been remitted from all our sins. Because of the shed blood of Jesus we have become God's children and members of His Church once and for all to enter and live in the kingdom of Heaven.
That is how we living in this present age have been saved from all our sins by believing tn the righteousness of God fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

This is the Gospel that our Lord Jesus has given us and this Gospel is the love of God and His justice. By purchasing us with the price of His own life, Jesus has made us God's children once and for all.
In Luke 10:19-20, we see Jesus saying to His disciples, "Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rather rejoice because your names are written in heaven."
This Word was spoken equally to all believers living in the present age. It is the Lord Jesus who has given us the Gospel and brought us true salvation.

The Father God has made His will known to us in Christ Jesus by helping us to understand the True Gospel. Whoever is ignorant of the God given Gospel is someone who lacks heavenly wisdom.
It's through His Son that God has made us His children. For us who were all destined to be destroyed, He washed away our every sin. He has made His grace abound to us, so that all of us that believe will be His children,
Those of us who know and believe that God is love, truth, and justice, also know that Jesus Christ is our Creator and God. We know and believe that to become our Savior, Jesus came looking for us. He did not achieve our salvation according to His own will, but according to His Father's plan.
Jesus Christ had come to this earth incarnated in the flesh of man in order to do every work of salvation in obedience to the will of God. And he saved us once and for all by bearing all our sins.

By rising from the dead Jesus has made His grace abound to all of us who believe the Gospel, so that we would lack nothing to become Sons of God. God the Father has given us new life in the righteousness of Jesus.
Having resurrected His Son from the dead, the Father then seated Him at His own right hand.
In Ephesians 1:8-9 "Which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made know to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself." Here God is saying to us that He has made His will known to us by giving us all wisdom and prudence through Jesus. God has also granted us the wisdom of salvation, making it possible for us to know His will.

Our salvation and our adoption as God's children was not through our own will, plan or effort, but was achieved solely by the will of God.
Now as we serve the Gospel to the Lord's pleasure, we are living in His love. Our everything depends on Him and His blessings.
Ephesians 1:7, " In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace." It means that God has given us every spiritual blessing of heaven in Jesus Christ. The word "redemption" means "to ransom us from sin by paying off the price."
Even though everyone sins countlessly, God has already blotted them out by giving us the Gospel. We have been saved from each and every sin because Jesus paid the debt for us. Because the Lord accepted our sins once and for all, He had to pay the price for them. That is why He shed His blood on the cross, buying our salvation and for all who will believe.

Given the fact that we have become God the Father's children entirely out of His will, we have nothing to do but to thank and praise Him for it.
That is what the Apostle Paul is teaching us in the first chapter of Ephesians, making it clear to all of us that have reached our salvation by believing in the Gospel according to the will of the Father.
We are now living in this world as His children, but sometimes we get disappointed when we see our weaknesses and shortcomings i.e. sins. Despite them, God the Father has saved us perfectly in Jesus Christ through the Gospel. It's true that even as we try to follow the Lord faithfully, sometimes we fall into despair over our sins. However, this should only deepen our faith and make us even more thankful to God for planning and achieving our salvation.

Our faith that has helped us to becomes God's children did not come to us from believing in any doctrine in this world. This faith of salvation was shaped entirely by God the Father under the authority of the righteousness of Jesus our Lord.
Our salvation was affected by no one else but the Lord. It was achieved by the righteousness of God the Father which was fulfilled by His Son Jesus Christ.
If our faith were built on a mistaken foundation as modern theology, then it would have been imperfect. Jesus Christ has saved us all who believe in the Gospel by working according to the Father's plan. All this was accomplished according to the will of God.

By giving us the Gospel that has blotted out all the sins of this world, the Lord has turned all of us who believe into God's children.
This is explained by Ephesians 1:4, "Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world". It is in Jesus that God has given us all at once each and every spiritual blessing in Heaven that He has wanted to give us.
Human beings can become God's children only if they receive the remission of their sins by believing in the Gospel and are born again into God's people. This is because we were all born as sinners by nature and the only way for us to become children of God is to believe in Him and what Jesus did for us at the Cross. The main purpose of our faith in the True Gospel is for us to reach salvation from all our sins.

Ephesians is Paul's Epistle testifying that God Himself has built His Church. God wanted to adopt all human beings as His children and let them dwell in His Church. As the way to achieve that, He spoke of the salvation that is received through the Gospel.
In the Book of Ephesians, Paul explained the process in which God's children have come into existence. Ephesians 1:3, "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." This means that God the Father had planned to make us His own children through the Gospel found in Jesus Christ His Son.
We should realize first of all that every spiritual blessing that the saints receive comes to them through their faith in the Gospel, because the Father had already planned to make us His own children in Jesus Christ. And when the time came He completed our salvation in Jesus as the True Gospel, The work of the Father and Jesus lacked nothing to fulfill His will.

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
Therefore I, Paul, also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places.

God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to the adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.
In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made know to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that is the dispensation of the fullness of times He might gather together in one all things in Christ both which are in heaven and which are on earth in Him.
In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory.
