YOU ARE THE APPLE OF GOD'S EYE (Ephesians 1)

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,

I. You Were God’s Dream From the Beginning

4 just as He chose us before the foundation of the world. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself so that we would be holy and blameless before Him according to the good pleasure of His will, 6 to the praise of the glory of His grace, of which He freely graced us in the Beloved. 

II. You are the Apple of God’s Eye

7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He lavished on us.

 

III. God Tattooed His Ownership On You

13 In Him, you also, were sealed in Him with the promised Holy Spirit,  ¹⁴  who is given as a pledge of our inheritance,  so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
