BLESSED IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS

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.

For He Chose us In Him

Before the Creation of the World

To be Holy and Blameless in His Sight.

In Love He Predestined us for Adoption to Sonship

Through Jesus Christ,

In accordance with His Pleasure and Will--

To the Praise of His Glorious Grace,

Which He has Freely given us In the One He loves.

In Him we have Redemption through His Blood,

The Forgiveness of Sins,

In accordance with the Riches of God’s Grace

THAT HE LAVISHED ON US.

With all Wisdom and Understanding,

He made known to us the Mystery of His Will

According to His Good Pleasure,

Which He purposed in Christ,

To be Put Into Effect
When the Times reached their Fulfillment--

TO BRING UNITY TO ALL THINGS IN HEAVEN

AND ON EARTH UNDER CHRIST.

(Ephesians 1:3-10)
