Paul continues his prayer for the church by declaring how God has shown His power in four ways:
Paul's prayer for the church is that they increasingly grow in the wisdom, revelation and knowledge of God. Paul's prayer:
God's sealing of the Holy Spirit secures and saves all believers.
God has predestined believer in Christ to receive the seal of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of their eternal inheritance as God's redeemed possession.
God has made known the mystery of his will: That in the fullness of times, He will unite all things under the supreme headship of Jesus Christ.
God has lavishly given us redemption with the forgiveness of sins through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
God has predestined Believers to be adopted into His forever family through Jesus Christ to the praise of His glorious grace.
God has bestowed the blessing of election and adoption on every believer in Christ so that they may be holy and blameless before God the Father.
