Ephesians 1:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV) 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, 10 that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.

These are my thoughts, please share yours. 7 It is not by what we do but by what he did that we are saved. He died in our place so we can be with the Lord and be redeemed. He has forgiven us whether we accept it or not but, to receive the forgiveness we have to accept Him as the one who can give it, as Lord. His grace is what allows us to be in a place where we can talk with God and live a life for Him. 8 He is where we should seek for wisdom and the wise accept Him as Savior. As we grow in the Spirit we will grow in His wisdom. 9 The mystery if His will is His word which many will not accept. God’s will is all will come to Him by faith but it is up to us to Him as Lord. His will for believers is we continue to seek Him and continue to serve Him as Lord. 10 We as believers are remade in His image as we die to the flesh and live for Him instead of us.
