Redemption in Christ
3 2 Cor. 1:3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, 4 just as Rom. 8:28He chose us in Him 1 Pet. 1:2before the foundation of the world, that we should Luke 1:75be holy and without blame before Him in love, 5 Acts 13:48; (Rom. 8:29)having predestined us to John 1:12adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, (1 Cor. 1:21)according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, (Rom. 3:24)by which He made us accepted in Matt. 3:17the Beloved.
