“TO THE SAINTS!”

 Ephesians 1:1-4                (ESV)


“[1] Paul, an apostle of CHRIST JESUS  by the will of GOD, 


“TO THE SAINTS” who are in Ephesus, and ARE FAITHFUL are faithful in Christ Jesus: 


[2] Grace to you and peace from GOD our FATHER and the LORD JESUS CHRIST.


[3] Blessed be the GOD and FATHER of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, WHO has blessed us in CHRIST with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, [4] even as HE CHOSE US in HIM before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before HIM.”



The inclination to emphasize HE CHOSE US is so great, maybe because GOD ALMIGHTY selected us before the foundation of the world to be one of HIS!  Paul wasn’t writing to anyone who wanted to read this, only “TO THE SAINTS”, the CHOSEN of GOD!!!
