Ephesians 1: 11-14

If your group didn't get a chance to discuss the topics that were raised in last week's teaching session- make sure you address it. Paul referenced "predestination" in this section, as well.

Review vs 11

-Do you believe that God has control over everything AND that these things work out in conformity to His Will?

-Do the day-to-day tasks of your life: washing the dishes, taking the kids to the park...play any significance in His will? What does this say about His involvement in your life?

-If we were "chosen" and "predestined," how should our lives look?

Review vs 12 and 13

-Why did God reveal the mystery of His will to common man? How do most people respond to this Truth?

Paul wrote that there there is a promised gift to all the children of God: The seal of the Holy Spirit

-What is this seal? Is it something that can been seen? Does it have some influence in our lives?

Do you get the seal immediately after believing the word of Truth? Does it protect you in some way?

Review vs 14

-What is the "inheritance" that Paul was referring to? What value does it have? Are we supposed to live our lives in the pursuit of it?

-Paul mentioned that this inheritance would be guaranteed "until the redemption of those who are in God's possession." When will this be?
