The poem In the Beloved, inspired by Ephesians 1:6, celebrates the profound privilege of being accepted in Jesus Christ, portrayed as an act of divine grace. It uses exquisite, concise language to depict believers as royalty, freed from sin, adorned with Christ’s love, and eternally bound to Him. The imagery emphasizes mercy, splendor, and the honor of being God’s heirs, culminating in a joyful adoration of the Savior.

Ephesians 1:6 – “To the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the Beloved.”

O grace divine, eternal call,
In Christ, the Beloved, we stand tall.
No greater honor could we claim,
Than to be sealed in Jesus’ name.

His love, a robe of splendor bright,
Arrays our souls in holy light.
From sin’s dark chains, He sets us free,
Crowning us with His royalty.

Exquisite mercy, pure and grand,
He holds us in His nail-scarred hand.
Accepted, cherished, we abide,
Forever bound to His pierced side.

O Savior’s heart, our throne, our home,
In You, we reign, no more to roam.
With joy we sing, Your name adore,
God’s royal heirs forevermore.
