Ephesians 1 ESV
3 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, 4 even as he chose us “IN HIM” before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved. 7 “IN HIM” we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of HIS GRACE, 8 WHICH HE LAVISHED UPON US, in all wisdom and insight
11 “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, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
13 “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, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints,
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.
Ephesians 2 ESV
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him (FROM THE DEAD) and seated us with him(GOD) in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace(FAVOR) in kindness toward us
in Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace (FAVOR) (HIS FAVOR) you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,
I AM PRAYING FOR REVELATION FOR YOU TO SEE / COMPREHEND.
THE DOOR.
THE CROSS.
THE SHIP.
THE DOOR
Genesis 4 ESV
2 Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. 3 In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground,4 and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, 5 but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell.
6 The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, and you must rule over it.”
Romans 5:12 ESV
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death SPREAD to all men because all sinned—
THE CROSS
Numbers 21 ESV
6 Then the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people, so that many people of Israel died. 7 And the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you. Pray to the Lord, that he take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed for the people. 8 And the Lord said to Moses, “Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and everyone who is bitten, when he sees it, shall live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on a pole. And if a serpent bit anyone, he would look at the bronze serpent and live.
Death spread
John 3 ESV
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up,15 that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.
Hebrews 2 ESV
14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that THROUGH DEATH he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.
Romans 8 ESV
1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are IN CHRIST JESUS.
2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do.
By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he
condemned sin in the flesh,
THE SHIP
Romans 5 ESV
1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through (SHIP BOTTLE) our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace (FAVOR) in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
“THEREFORE”
Romans 5 ESV
9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, MUCH MORE shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.
10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, MUCH MORE, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.
12 THEREFORE, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death SPREAD to all men because all sinned—
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man's trespass,
MUCH MORE have the grace of God and the free gift by THE GRACE OF THAT ONE MAN Jesus Christ abounded for many.
BY THE GRACE / FAVOR OF JESUS.
17 For if, because of one man's trespass, death reigned through that one man, MUCH MORE will those who receive the abundance of grace (JESUS FAVOR) and the free gift of righteousness REIGN IN LIFE through the one man Jesus Christ.
JESUS FAVOR.
Romans 5 ESV
20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
WHEN CHRIST ROSE FROM THE DEAD, EVERYTHING CHANGED.
“THEREFORE”
“IN CHRIST”
Ephesians 1 ESV
3 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,
4 even as he chose us “IN HIM” before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
5 he predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
7 “IN HIM” we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of “HIS” GRACE,
8 WHICH HE LAVISHED UPON US, in all wisdom and insight
11 “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, 12 so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.
13 “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,14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory.
16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers,
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ
WHEN he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. 22 And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

BY HIS FAVOR!
6 and raised us up with him (FROM THE DEAD) and seated us with him(GOD) in the heavenly places IN CHRIST JESUS,
