If He Hadn’t Come… 2. I would not know how God FEELS ABOUT ME. 4 just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love 5 He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will. (Ephesians 1: 4 -5)

If He Hadn’t Come… 3. I would not know MY INHERITANCE. (Ephesians 1: 11 -14) 11 also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will,

12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation – having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

If He Hadn’t Come… 4. I would be WITHOUT HOPE. And you were dead in your trespasses and sins (Ephesians 2: 1)

If He Hadn’t Come… 5. We would not be TOGETHER. (Ephesians 2: 19 -22) 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household

20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
