Ephesians
1:3-14
[3] Blessed be the
God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, [4] even as he
chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be
holy and blameless before him. In love [5] he predestined us for
adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the
purpose of his will, [6] to the praise of his glorious grace, with
which he has blessed us in the Beloved. [7] In him we have redemption
through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to
the riches of his grace, [8] which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom
and insight [9] making known to us the mystery of his will, according
to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ [10] as a plan for the
fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and
things on earth.
[11] In him we have
obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the
purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his
will, [12] so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be
to the praise of his glory. [13] In him you also, when you heard the
word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him,
were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, [14] who is the guarantee
of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise
of his glory.
Matthew
7:24-27
[24] “Everyone
then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise
man who built his house on the rock. [25] And the rain fell, and the
floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did
not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. [26] And everyone
who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a
foolish man who built his house on the sand. [27] And the rain fell,
and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house,
and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
