Ephesians 1:4, Jeremiah 29:11, Ephesians 1:13-14

For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory
