not by works, so that no one can boast." (Ephesians 2:8,9, pg. 987)

and blameless in His sight. In love He predestined us to be adopted as His sons through Jesus Christ, in the praise of His glorious grace

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that He
lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding." (Ephesians 1:4-8, pg. 987)
