God Chooses, Jesus Redeems, and the Holy Spirit Seals

Ephesians 1:3-6  “3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.” 

The gospel of Christ informs us about the different functions of God. When Jesus preached the GOSPEL, every aspect of The Trinity was involved. The Trinity makes up who God is: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Here is this passage (Eph. 1:3-14) we see The Trinity working together in divine harmony. This verse reminds us that the gospel is a work of God and NOT of us.

First in verse (4) we see that the Father lovingly chooses us to be in His family. We must always know that before we ever chose God, God chose us. Our Father has handpicked us by His loving grace and mercy. Second, in verse (7) we see that it’s Jesus who redeems us. Jesus has purchased us from the slavery of sin. No longer are we trapped in the brokenness of this world. Lastly, in verse (13) the Holy Spirit seals. The Holy Spirit is the receipt to us that we have been bought by Christ. As we are reminded about the gospel daily, know that God chooses, Jesus redeems, and The Holy Spirit seals.
