7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace 8 which He made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, 9 having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, Ephesians 1:7-9 (NKJV)

FORGIVENESS release from bondage or imprisonment forgiveness or pardon, of sins (letting them go as if they had never been committed), remission of the penalty demands, and depends the payment of the penalty

God is sovereign God is just and good in all His ways God’s ways are higher than our ways

God exercises His own wisdom and understanding when He makes known His will…The Gospel is first of all a revelation about God’s purpose and work, and here His revealing activity is a cause for praise. The term mystery emphasizes the revelation theme further. R.E. Brown
