It's amazing -- all of the references to what God did for us in the opening section of Ephesians. Here is a list of God's actions, just in v. 3-9:

-He blessed us (with every spiritual blessing)... v. 3
-He made the world... v. 4
-He loved us... v. 4
-He chose us (to be holy and without fault)... v. 4
-He decided (in advance to adopt us)... v. 5
-He brought us to himself (through Christ)... v. 5
-He poured out on us his glorious grace... v. 6
-He purchased our freedom... v. 7
-He forgave our sins... v. 7
-He showered us with kindness... v. 8
-He showered us with wisdom... v. 8
-He showered us with understanding... v. 8
-He revealed to us his plan regarding Christ... v. 9

Look what the Lord has done (in just 7 verses)!
