Have you ever felt like you just weren't good enough for God? What if, in Christ, you're already highly favored?We walk through Ephesians 1:5–8 and what it means to be accepted in the beloved, redeemed by his blood, and rich in grace. Then we look at why salvation is free to us but never cheap, and who the ransom was actually paid to.0:00 Is God Disappointed in You?5:40 You Are Highly Favored in the Beloved9:29 Salvation Is Free, but It Wasn't Cheap14:00 Who Was the Ransom Paid To?19:10 The Riches of God's Grace and the Prodigal Son24:58 The Father Who Runs, and a Phone Booth at 2 A.M.29:40 Don't Forget Where God Found You33:46 Salvation Is Not on Clearance38:29 Three Questions to Ask Yourself Today Support the showDr. Shah writes a personal letter every week — reflections on Scripture, faith, and living it out with clarity and purpose. GET THE LETTER If you enjoyed the show, please like and follow our Facebook and Instagram pages, and also subscribe to our YouTube channel.
