For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.
Paul the ApostleBlessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places . . . He destined us for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
Paul the Apostle
