Ephesians 1:7-9 King James Version (KJV)
7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Ephesians 1:7-9 Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

7 In union with him, through the shedding of his blood, we are set free — our sins are forgiven; this accords with the wealth of the grace8 he has lavished on us. In all his wisdom and insight9 he has made known to us his secret plan, which by his own will he designed beforehand in connection with the Messiah

Theses are my thoughts, please share yours.

7 Thru Christ we are redeemed, thru Him bearing our sin on the cross. It was by His grace that He died because we don’t deserve the Lord to die for us, often servants died for the masters, but the Master died for us. Our riches are found thru His grace.

8 When coming to Him we have a new understanding that the world does not have we see things more from His perspective rather then our own. We have an understanding of that we are changed because of Him and don’t want to be without Him.

9 The mystery of His will was that He died this was not clear to those of old but was made clear the New Testament. The will of God was fulfilled by the Lord Jesus Christ no one else could fulfill it we can only by His grace be apart of it.
