"Redeemed Through His Blood" Ephesians 1:7-8

The key to walking as beloved sons is understanding and receiving all that it is to be in Him.  When we believe upon Him and entrust ourselves to His work on the cross and His resurrection from the dead.  He not only comes to live in us but He takes us into Himself.  So, we see that He is the source of all and it is not us on a self-improvement program.  We come to Him as guilty sinners and slaves to sin and He redeems us to Himself.  He buys us back from all that enslaved us.  He gives us complete forgiveness from all of our trespasses as a gift of His grace.  You might think there are limits to His grace but Paul reminds us that He is rich in grace and delights to lavish it on us.  This is what it is to be a beloved son.
