Ephesians 1:7-9

7When Christ died as a sacrifice on the cross, he paid the price to make us free. Because of Christ's death on our behalf, God has forgiven our sins. God is so very kind that he has done all this for us!

8Even more than that, God has shown how wise he is. He understands what we need.

9He has let us know his great purpose, which had been a secret before. That plan would make him very happy. It would be possible because of Christ.
