Who is God? What has God done for me? How does God view me? What does this mean to me?

We looked at Ephesians 1 and found several things about God and Us (those who believe in Christ as their Savoir). We then looked at a worship song that the lyrics are simply the truths of Scripture. What did we learn?

EPHESIANS 1:

• God has blessed us with every spiritual blessing (Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3)
• God has chosen us (verse 4)
• We are holy and blameless in his sight (verse 4)
