Ephesians 1:4-5

Ephesians 1:4-5 teaches that God chose believers to be His own before creating the world, choosing them because of His love. He planned to adopt us as His children through Jesus Christ, which He lovingly decided long ago. This passage emphasizes God's deliberate, loving purpose in bringing people into a close relationship with Him, showing that our inclusion in His family is based on His grace and divine plan, not our own efforts. It's a reminder of God's intentional love and the special relationship He offers to believers.
