In Whom - Classical version

Описание: In Epistle to the Ephesians 1:3–14, the apostle Paul opens with a majestic blessing that exalts the work of God in Christ. This passage is one continuous sentence in the Greek text, unfolding the riches of redemption and the eternal purpose of God.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”

Here we see the source of every blessing — the Father — and the sphere in which they are given: “in Christ.” The repeated phrase “in whom” reveals the believer’s union with the Son, through whom redemption, forgiveness of sins, and an inheritance are obtained according to the riches of His grace.

This passage declares that believers were chosen in Him before the foundation of the world, predestinated unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will. It magnifies the grace of God, “wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.”

Through His blood we have redemption; through His will we receive an inheritance; and through the Holy Spirit of promise we are sealed — that Spirit being “the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession.”

All culminates in one great purpose:
“That we should be to the praise of his glory.”

Ephesians 1:3–14 lifts our eyes to the eternal counsel of God — the Father’s purpose, the Son’s redemption, and the Spirit’s sealing — all accomplished in Christ, to the praise of His glorious grace.
