Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved. (KJV)

Verses three through six are more than an introduction and a reminder to the Ephesians, they are the foundation of the Good News of Jesus’ Kingdom. Use 2 Corinthians 5:21 as a reference and comparison.

For study purposes, I suggest you compare verse, 1:6, in both websites. I listed five words that deserve your attention, so spend some with them and let them in.

• Praise, epainon G1868.
• Glory, doxes G1391. Paul will use this word many times in his writings.
• Grace, charitos G5485. Let this word, thought, and gift to us from the Father settle into you as a foundation, so it can steady you as you soar into the heavenlies.
• Freely given, echaritosen (charitoo) G5487. This is a Christmas connection word. The angel Gabriel said this to Mary in the Book of Luke. Take a Muse Moment here and reflect on how important you are to the Father. Charitoo is used only twice in the New Testament.
• Beloved, egapemeno G25.
