The author of Ephesians declares that we are chosen by God for a purpose. In these nine verses, Paul enthusiastically reminds us of who we are in Christ. That we were once slaves, but now have been rescued; adopted into the family of God. We have a new Father, a new status, all of our debts have been canceled, and we will never be disowned. Paul exhorts us to put off anything doesn’t feed our new identity; letting go of any false identites that hinders us. When you and I embrace who we truly are, we live differently and we love differently. Application: We are chosen, by his grace, for a purpose.
