Main point summary
As we learned from the previous verses, the basis and fruition of our receiving every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places is that we have been adopted by God, to God, through Jesus. This is the epitome of being blessed in the Beloved. But there’s more—7 through 14 expounds on these blessings: In Jesus we have been forgiven, been given revelation to the mystery, obtained an inheritance, and been sealed with the Holy Spirit. All done according to His purpose and to the praise of His Glory.
