In today’s episode of The Tapestry of Us, we dive into Ephesians chapter 1 to discover the incredible spiritual blessings we’ve received in Christ. Sarah unpacks Paul’s opening words to the early church, a powerful reminder that whether you’re new to faith or feel like you’ve been “relearning” what it means to follow Jesus, your identity is secure, chosen, and sealed in Christ.
We explore how Ephesians 1 reveals God’s eternal plan:
You were chosen before the foundation of the world
God takes pleasure in adopting you as His own
You are redeemed by the blood and forgiven by grace
You are sealed with the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of your inheritance
You have access to resurrection power for your daily walk
This episode isn’t just theology, it’s truth for your daily identity, mindset, and spiritual confidence. Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians is also a prayer for you: that your heart would be enlightened, that you’d know the hope, inheritance, and incomparable power available to those who believe.
Whether you’ve felt insecure in your faith, unsure if you’re “doing it right,” or just need a reminder that you’re not overlooked, this teaching is packed with biblical encouragement, identity-shaping truth, and a call to rest in the fullness of Christ.
