Ephesus

Ephesians 1:10-14

for the administration of the days of fulfillment to bring everything together in the Messiah, both things in heaven and things on earth in Him. In Him we were also made His inheritance, predestined according to the purpose of the One who works out everything in agreement with the decision of His will, so that we who had already put our hope in the Messiah might bring praise to His glory. In Him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation in Him when you believe were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. He is the down payment of our inheritance, for the redemption of the possession, to the praise of HIS GLORY!

I think this is an amazing passage. Think about it, this passage speaks for itself. In him we were also made His inheritance, predestined according to His own purpose not our purpose. He works out everything in agreement with his will not our will so we can put our hope in his son so we can bring praise to His GLORY not our glory. When we believe we are sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. He is the down payment of our inheritance to the praise of His Glory! Not to the Glory of what we have done but to the Glory of what God has done. Its not about us! Its about Gods will and His Glory.
