In Ephesians 1:11, Paul describes believers as having obtained an inheritance. This inheritance is according to what?

  1. The will of human leaders
  2. The decree of the apostles
  3. The purpose of God who works all things according to the counsel of His will ✓
  4. The wealth of the nations

Explanation

Ephesians teaches that our inheritance as Christians comes from God’s eternal plan and purpose. Everything works according to what God has decided and willed.

Human leaders, apostles, or earthly wealth do not determine our spiritual inheritance. God alone decides and works out His perfect plan for us.

This assures us that our salvation and future blessings rest on God’s unchanging will, not human actions.
