The Word Became Flesh Bible Conference was held in Buchanan Dam, Texas November 28–30, 2014.
Gene says, “It is my earnest prayer that this study will bring each of us to “behold His glory,” and be enraptured by the “beauty of holiness” seen only in Him. He presents such a captivating image that even the smallest seed of faith will be blessed by the process of inner transformation into His likeness. The book of Hebrews captures the thing we lack so much in our hustle-and-bustle lives.”

Ephesians #6
Eph 1:7-12 "redemption" means to set free a slave. Blood is idiomatic; He took our place as the perfect sacrifice. "forgiveness" includes imputation of sin to Christ and righteousness to us. 2Co 5:21 says the Father made Christ to be sin for us "according to the riches of His Grace". He made our riches to abound in Wisdom (1Co 1:18-30, Rom 1:17) -- the skill of living life God's way. Eph 1:9 "He made known to us" first through the Gospel, "the mystery of His will". Eph 1:10 the "Dispensation of the fullness of time -- the gathering of all things into Christ". Eph 1:11 "in Him" we have received an allotment (Rom 8:14, Rom 8:17; 1Pe 1:4). Eph 1:12 we are "to the praise of His Glory". 8 things about redemption in Eph 1:7-12: possession, price, subtraction, bounty, revelation, economy, inheritence, and worship.
