Chosen, Redeemed, and Sealed in Christ

“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.” (Ephesians 1:3)

Paul invites us to lift our eyes and see the larger story, one where God chose us, redeemed us through Christ’s blood, and sealed us with the Holy Spirit.

Before we ever reached for Him, He reached for us. Before we spoke His name, He called ours.

Let that truth anchor you today. You are not forgotten or overlooked. You are chosen, redeemed, and sealed for His purpose.

Prayer:

Father, thank You for choosing us, redeeming us, and sealing us with Your Spirit. Remind us that Your grace began this story, and Your power will finish it. In Jesus’ name, amen.

One question:

Where have you seen God’s redeeming hand at work in your story this week?
