Folks, here's the deal: Ephesians 1 is about God's glorious plan for our lives. Not gonna lie, it's a big plan. My father used to say, 'When God has a plan, you can't mess with it'. See here, Jack, that plan is literally to make us holy and blameless in his sight. That's right - no malarkey - he chose us to be his very own, and he adopted us into his family. C'mon, man, this is serious stuff. He did all this before the world was even created! Or uh, you know, before we were even born. He did it so that his kindness would be shown to us in Christ Jesus. What was that? You heard me - God's plan for us was literally made before we were even born. I'm not joking. He wanted us to be his children, and he wanted us to share in the glory of Christ. Excuse me, but that's pretty darn special. He also wanted us to have hope and a future - no malarkey. That's right, folks - a future filled with hope. I tell you what, that's something we all need.
