God’s Great Work of Salvation
Ephesians 1:3-14
Purpose: Each Person of the Trinity uniquely and perfectly participates in our salvation, so that we might rest confidently in God’s sovereign grace and rejoice in our spiritual inheritance in Christ.
God the Father planned it. The Son accomplished it.
The Holy Spirit applies it.
- Salvation is a Work God Planned – (Ephesians 1:3–6)
God the Father chose us before the foundation
of the world, predestining us for adoption and
blessing us with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
- Salvation is a Work the Son Accomplished – (Ephesians 1:7–12)
Jesus redeemed us through His blood, forgiving
our trespasses and revealing the mystery of
God’s will to unite all things in Him.
- Salvation is a Work the Spirit Applies – (Ephesians 1:13–14)
The Holy Spirit seals us in Christ, guaranteeing
our inheritance and marking us as His until the
final redemption.
Reflection Question: Have you trusted in Christ and received the fullness of this great salvation—planned by the Father, accomplished by the Son, and applied by the Spirit?
