Do you ever wonder if God truly delights in you—not out of obligation, but because you are His? Many believers know they're saved, but live as if they're on probation rather than fully loved as sons and daughters of the Most High. Today's devotion pulls back the curtain on one of Scripture's most transformative truths: predestination, election, and your adoption into God's eternal family.

Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians chapter one (KJV) to reveal how God marked you out beforehand—before you ever chose Him—and secured your place in His household through Jesus Christ, all according to the good pleasure of His will.
