Ephesians 1:4-6

Eph 1:4  even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love
Eph 1:5  he predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,
Eph 1:6  to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.


Verse 4
One of the purpose of our election. To be holy and blameless.

The unworthy have been declared worthy, the unrighteous declared holy.
We are now before God blameless and holy.

This verse is talking about our position, but that does not excuse us for not being holy in our conduct now. A Christian knowing that we are redeemed with the precious blood of the spotless lamb will strive to live holy lives.

Verse 5
Predestination
PREDESTINA'TION, n. The act of decreeing or foreordaining events; the decree of God by which he hath, from eternity, unchangeably appointed or determined whatever comes to pass. It is used particularly in theology to denote the preordination of men to everlasting happiness or misery.

Predestination is a part of the unchangeable plan of the divine government; or in other words, the unchangeable purpose of an unchangeable God.

Yes this verse is saying that before time began, we  (all who will be saved) were predestinated to this salvation. 

We are predestined to “adoption as sons.”

We were of our father the devil (Rom. 8:44; I Jn. 3:8-10). Under him we were, indeed, slaves, slaves to sin, under a sentence of death. But we have been adopted into the family of God. We are members of a new family, all the old debts are paid, and we are new people.

In His great love He makes us more than citizens and servants, and even more than friends. He makes us Children. God lovingly draws redeemed sinners into the intimacy of His own family.

Eph 1:5  He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

It is through Christ that this is possible that we can be adopted.

Joh 1:11  He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him.
Joh 1:12  But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,

Gal 3:26  for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith

Eph 1:5  He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will,

God did this according to the kind intention of His will.

KJV  “according to the good pleasure of his will,”


Pleasure, or kind intention

εὐδοκία
eudokia
yoo-dok-ee'-ah

2) delight, pleasure, satisfaction

Eph 1:6  to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.

The ultimate reason for everything that exists is the glory of His grace. That is why, as God’s Children, Christians should do everything they do--even such mundane things as eating ad drinking- to the glory of God.
