EPHESIANS 1:3-11
We were slaves to sin. Sin owned us and was our master, a cruel and deadly master. Jesus walks into the slave market and with His own blood with His own life bought us, redeemed us from sin and set us free to live in relationship with Him. We once were nothing, all the things the world said about us were true, but no longer, now we are children of God, now we are valuable, now we have a purpose, now we can no longer consider ourselves as we once did.
