Throughout season three of The Secret Place, Derek is looking deeply at Ephesians 1 and helping us apply Paul's words to our own lives.  In this episode of The Secret Place, Derek unpacks Ephesians 1:3-6: "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love He predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves." Your adoption as a son or daughter of God was not a chore for God. It was according to the good pleasure of His will. You cannot be separated from God.
