Ephesians 1:5
“God decided in advance
to adopt us into His own family
by bringing us to Himself
through Jesus Christ.
This is what He wanted to do,
and it gave Him great pleasure.”

Deuteronomy 6:6-7, 18
“These commandments that I give you today
are to be on your hearts.
Impress them on your children.
Talk about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down
and when you get up.
Do what is right and good in the Lord’s sight,
so that it may go well with you
and you may go in
and take over the good land
the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors,“
