Ephesians 1:3-11
Doctrines of sin
1. Original sin (Psalms 51:5; Gen. 8:21)
2. Total depravity
When we are saved
1. We are forgiven for all the sins we have committed.
2. Our human condition is reversed.
God's favor- our basis for self-esteem
1. You are chosen. (vs. 4)
The only way to be chosen is to place your faith in Christ. (vs. 5-6)
2. There is redemption. (vs. 7)
God saw that we were in trouble, and He thought enough of us to rescue us. (Romans 5:6)
3. We receive an inheritance. (vs. 11)
An heir is
a. given the riches of the estate (8)
b. made privy to the reading of the will. (9)
c. given a promise of what is to come (10)
The only way to love yourself is in Christ.
