Scripture Reflection
in him we were also chosen , destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will , so that we might exist for the praise of his glory , we who first hoped in Christ . In him you also , who have heard the word of truth , the gospel of your salvation , and have believed in him , were sealed with the promised holy Spirit , which is the first installment of our inheritance toward redemption as God ’ s possession , to the praise of his glory . ( Ephesians 1:11-14 )
