even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love (Ephesians 1:4 ESV) To understand Ephesians 1:4, Paul said, [God] hath chosen us, to emphasize that salvation depends totally on God. We are not saved because we deserve it, but because God is gracious and freely gives it. We did not influence Gods decision to save us; He did it according to His plan. Thus, there is no way to take credit for our salvation or to find room for pride. The mystery of salvation originated in the timeless mind of God, long before we existed. It is hard to understand how God could except us, but because of Christ we are holy and blameless in His sight. God chose us, and when we belong to Him through Jesus Christ, He looks at us as if we had NEVER sinned. This note to help understand Ephesians 1:4 is from the Life Application Study Bible (King James Version). Thank You thank You so much JESUS!!!!!
