“In” means to be part of something, to have a connection with something (or someone) larger than yourself – In Christ Jesus V 1; In Christ V 3,10,12; In Him V 4,7,9; In the Beloved V 6; All point to where these privileges are Look at what faithful saints enjoy WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSING - Vs 3 – Song : "count your blessings" We have The Love of God Rom 5:5 Reconciliation Rom 5:10-11 Joy Jhn 15:11 Rescue and Forgiveness Col 1:13-14 Participation in Divine Nature 2 Pet 1:4 Fellowship 1Jhn 1:3 The anticipation of Heaven Col 1:5 – Never able to count all God has laid on us 1Cor 2:9-10 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

WE ARE CHOSEN IN HIM - Vs 4 – We were chosen "before the foundation of the world!" – God always had in mind a certain people who would be His They are "holy and blameless" (Vs 4) Rom 8:29-30 How to know God has chosen you? Choose Him! 2Pet 1:10-11 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

WE ARE ADOPTED - Vs 5 – It would be enough to simply be chosen as His people, but He has chosen us as His children! 1Jhn 3:1 – We are granted a wonderful privilege Jhn 1:12-13 – We must uphold family way and Name Rom 8:14-16; 2Cor 6:16b-7:1 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

WE ARE REDEEMED IN HIM - Vs 7 – We sold ourselves to the devil to serve sin, now we have been bought back with a price, a ransom we could never pay 1Pet 1:17-20; Mk 10:45 – There is something of such worth in you and every person that He willingly paid the highest price Riches of His grace were lavished on us! Eph 1:8 He wills that we be filled so that we can lavish praise on God Jhn 10:10; 2Cor 4:15 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

WE HAVE OBTAINED AN INHERITANCE - Vs 11 – ASV reads "in whom also we were made a heritage“ – Implies God's people are a special inheritance to God Himself Eph 1:18 - Perhaps a spiritual application of O.T. concept in Deut 32:9 – Yet context of the passage leans more toward what saints enjoy in their relationship with the Father through Jesus Rom 8:17 We share it all: suffering and glory Phil 3:8-11 Some of it we enjoy now Eph 2:6; 1Pet 1:3-5; Mk 10:29,30 WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12

This study should further strengthen our hope These blessings are for saints who are faithful Eph 1:1 You have a responsibility in the blessings He wishes for His children! WHAT IT MEANS TO BE IN CHRIST Eph 1:1-12
