All The Difference

Paul introduces the major themes of theology as he completes this fantastic sentence. Covering these last two sections (the sentence that is 3-14 can be subdivided by the recurring phrase “to the praise of the [His] glory.”) we are introduced to the concepts of redemption, dispensational revelation, the preeminence of Christ who alone is worthy of hope and belief, and the Holy Spirit as sealer & pledge of the saints’ inheritance. The section has a certain symmetry in that redemption as present reality begins verse 7 and final redemption completed ends verse 14.
