REDEMPTION IN CHRIST   Ephesians 1:6b-10             Print this Bible Study

STIMULATE

** How did you do praising God this past week, from a heart of loving obedience? Did you encounter anything that would distract you, and if so, how did you handle it?

** What were some of the things that we learned, about all that the Father has done for us?

He has; blessed us, chosen us, predestined us, adopted us, He has a kind will toward us and poured His grace upon us!

** Do you recall what our two fold response should be to all of His blessings?

We must be Holy before Him and blameless before men. This is best accomplished by keeping our focus on things above rather than on those things here on earth.
cf. Colossians 3:1-3

MOTIVATE

** Last week we focused on the "Father of our Lord Jesus Christ" and His grace toward us. This week in our Part Two look at Paul's long sentence of adoration towards God, we will be focusing on the Son and what He has done on our behalf. Today, Paul is going to show us our "Redemption in Christ" and the domino effect it has had leading us to a full understanding of God's eternal plan.

INVESTIGATE

V. 6 ** How does God feel about placing His grace upon a world of unworthy sinners?

He "freely bestowed" it on us. charitoo, lit. means that God "graced us with His grace". He wanted to; for His glory, without reservation.
