Ephesians 1:5-7

5God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.

6So we praise God for the glorious grace he has poured out on us who belong to his dear Son.

7He is so rich in kindness and grace that he purchased our freedom with the blood of his Son and forgave our sins.
