Ephesians 1:11-14 NIVUK
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is am deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession – to the praise of his glory.
God, keep us near to yourself and bless us!And when you look down on us, may your face beam with joy!
Send us out into our communities so that everyone will discover your ways and know who you are and see your power to save.
In Jesus name, Amen.
