Spirit Sealed

God's master plan for the church has 3 parts:

- Eph. 1:4-6	starts in eternity as God united us with
       Christ which:
    Justified us
    Adopted us
    Reconciled us

Remember that it meant:

• In justification the sinner stands before God as accused and is declared free
• In adoption he stands before God as a stranger and receives sonship
• In reconciliation he stands before God as an enemy and is led to friendship.

* All by Christ!

Then, Eph. 1:7-12 looks at what Christ has done on the cross for us.
