Eph 1:1,2   "Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, To the saints who are in Ephesus, and are faithful in Christ Jesus: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." 


It was by the determination of God's choosing that I am a messenger of Christ Jesus, Isa Al Masih, Yeshua Messiah. He is Yahweh. He is the Absolute Love. To you who have been made holy by your faithful following of Jesus, you have received a gracious gift and are at peace with God the Father and Yahweh, the Lord Jesus Christ.
God is so happy in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ, He has set Him up as King of all things. He has been so happy in the Sons sacrifice that all the happiness of heaven has been given to you in your spirit. Though you don't see it now and didn't see it coming He chose you to receive the happiness of the fellowship the Father and Son share before He even made this world. You now are holy and without guilt before Him. 
It was His Absolute Love that decided to set His purpose in all that He did so that you would become His child. God will accomplish all that He decides will happen! In making all of this a gift of His grace, mercy and love it only pours back praise and glory to Him. He was so happy to do this in His infinite, eternal pleasure that He has in His beloved Son, Jesus Christ.


Eph 1:3-6  "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, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved." 


In Christ Jesus we have been redeemed from the death penalty hanging over us. In Isa Al Masih God has forgiven our sinful rebellion against God. This forgiveness is not a concession, it is a treasure possessed and lavishly provided through the might and wisdom of God's plan, held for a long time as a mystery of His delayed judgement, it came to fruition when Yeshua the messiah came and fulfilled the plan. This plan culminating in the victorious resurrection of Christ now ends up reuniting God to everything in the universe.


Eph 1:7-10  "In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace,  which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight  making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ  as a plan for the fullness of time, to unite all things in him, things in heaven and things on earth." 


This uniting is a part of the inheritance that has always been planned by God. Everything is according to His choice and counsel, so that you and I might have hope in Christ and that all thanks and praise would be to the glory of God. 


Eph 1:11, 12  "In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory." 


Even more you have a secure guarantee of what you are promised to inherit in Jesus Christ. When you heard of this marvelous plan and the inheritance of Christ, you believed. In your belief you were given the gracious gift of the Spirit of God. He now possesses you until you finally take possession of the inheritance. 
Again this is so that it is all of God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit; One in Three and Three in One, might receive all of the praise and glory. He is God. He is the Absolute Love. He is worthy of your trust and obedience, your praise and thanksgiving. 


Eph 1:13, 14  "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,  who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory."
