God's foreordained choices and inclusion in Christ

In Ephesians 1, Paul speaks about God being worthy of praise and the spiritual blessings found in Christ. The passage focuses on God's foreordination and the inclusion of believers in His plans. Specifically, verse 11 highlights the importance of being called and foreordained, emphasizing God's purpose and sovereignty. The structure of the passage suggests a sequence: first, Paul and his audience are included, and then the audience (likely Gentiles) are also mentioned. This challenges the idea of a fixed number of elect people, suggesting that God's foreordained category expands to include more individuals.
