‏ Ephesians 1:9-12

1:11  a we have received an inheritance from God: Paul often talks about salvation as an inheritance, something promised to our spiritual ancestors and received by us (see Rom 8:17  b; Gal 3:29  c; 4:7  d; Col 1:12  e; 3:24  f).

• Because God is sovereign, he makes everything work out according to his plan (cp. Rom 8:28-30  g).
