This document provides an overview of key spiritual concepts from Chapter 1:3-14 of an unknown book. It discusses: 1) How believers have been transformed and blessed with authority and power in heavenly realms as adopted children of God. 2) How believers have been chosen before the foundation of the world to fit into God's plan, not by accident, and to be holy and blameless. 3) How God gives believers himself through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, sealing them with his guarantee of salvation and redemption.

1. Changing Our Hearts, Our Habits, and Our Holiness Chapter 1:3-14

2. Paul the author Gifts – not positions It takes more than one gift to grow a church Saints and Faithfulness Saint - see yourself the way God sees you and behave and act accordingly Faithfulness - determined in your heart before you have to make any decision Grace and Peace Grace - the power to change – begin to understand this unmerited favour Peace – with God and in the midst of trial

4. In the Heavenly Realms Transformation – we have been “fitted” for heaven as a child in the Kingdom of God – citizens. Authority – we have been blessed with heavenly authority – in Jesus’ name Power – we have been blessed with heavenly power – in Jesus’ name All Spiritual Adoption – we can call God “abba” Redemption and Forgiveness – forgiving us our sins and buying back our missed opportunities Grace – richness in unmerited favour and power to change your life and mine Wisdom and Understanding – to know and do His will

5. Chosen before the foundation of the world Being chosen – pre-destined – does not violate our free will. Nor does our free will negate the Omniscience of God. Even though He knew we would fall into sin and rebel HE STILL CHOSE US!! Chosen for a Plan We are NOT an accident We are here to fit into God’s plan – for this time – for this place. Chosen by adoption to be Holy and Blameless to bring Unity to the Body of Christ for this time in history. It was not Random or Luck.

6. By the Holy Spirit God gives us nothing less than Himself The fullness of God dwells in Christ in bodily form and in Christ, we are brought to that same fullness. God gives all of Himself to us God the Father – the Thought God the Son – the Word God the Holy Spirit – the Deed When something is sealed it is protected, covered over, and held with high value and trust.

7. With a Guarantee What has been said, done and believed can be Trusted. There is a quality and a durability to God’s work There is no question of “if” the promises of God will hold true. God gave us Himself so we would never need to doubt.

8. Blessed in the Heavenly Realm Transformation of heart and life, The very authority of God, and Backed by the very power of God. Blessed with Spiritual Blessings Adoption, Redemption and Forgiveness, Grace, and Wisdom and Understanding.

9. Chosen Before the world began To be a part of God’s Master plan Sealed By the power of God Himself – in Person He guarantees our salvation and redemption by His life.
