Continuing in Paul’s letter to the Ephesians we next consider 1:3–4. Only two verses, and yet there is so much to say! Paul seems to lose the thread of his own thought as he piles on reason upon reason upon reason through the paragraph for why we should bless God (verses 3–14 comprise a single sentence in Greek). As he begins to unpack every spiritual blessing in Christ, he begins with election. Why is it good news that we are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world? What is it that we are chosen for? Join us as we explore Paul’s thought together!
