11 In him we were also chosen,[e] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, 12 in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. 13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.
What we were told by Paul: We were chosen by God, to do a great purpose, God had planned out our paths in accordance to His will.I really like the part in which Paul talked about "you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation." Which is really awesome. It really shows that Jesus includes us in His book of life and because of that we can share God's vision. Before Jesus went on the cross, the salvation was only accessible to the Jews. But because Jesus went onto the cross, this salvation is accessible for everyone. That is so awesome. We are allowed to take part in God's plan. But do we? God places a seal on us, the seal that grants us the holy spirit. The holy spirit will communicate with God and guarantee our place in heaven, until the day comes. All for the glory of God.
