Text: Ephesians 2

THE AMAZING SALVATION PLAN OF GOD

The redemptive plan of God is well described in the Epistle of Paul to the Ephesians.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of

His great love with which He loved us,

Even when we were dead in trespasses,

Made us alive together with Christ

(By grace you have been saved),

And raised us up together, and made us sit together

In the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches

Of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
