Ephesians 1:4-8 (ESV Strong's)
even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight
Subject: God's Blessings/Grace/Love
Our salvation is based upon the amazing and incompressible love and grace of God. He has, in salvation, bestowed upon us the riches of glory. In the above passage it is said to be "in love; of his glorious grace; according to the riches of his grace." It is said that He "blessed us" in the Beloved. There are those who, in their pride, can't believe that Salvation could be a free gift. Countless religious systems have incorporated man's works and man's contribution to the salvation process. Yet, this passage teaches us that God is the sole provider of salvation. We have salvation based upon HIS blessings; grace; and Love!!
