having predestined us for adoption as children through Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire,

Ephesians 1:5 · World English Bible

Where you find this verse

What is the Trinity?→Who is God the Father?→Why does He still call me son/daughter when I fail?→How can I know God's affection for me is real and not just a doctrine?→How do I receive love when I don't feel lovable?→Did God choose me to be saved before I chose Him?→

That reaches back to this verse

The same thread (this verse)1 John 3:1

Predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, in love.

“See how great a love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him.”
