Believers are accepted in/thru His Beloved Son/Jesus the Christ Also see [Rom 8:15-17, Gal 4:4-12]

Eph 1:
6 to the praise of His glorious grace and favor, which He so freely bestowed on us in the Beloved [His Son, Jesus Christ].

7 In Him we have redemption [that is, our deliverance and salvation] through His blood, [which paid the penalty for our sin and resulted in] the forgiveness and complete pardon of our sin, in accordance with the riches of His grace
Bible source link:
Bible Gateway passage: Ephesians 1 - Amplified Bible

(MY NOTE: Ephesians is written to believers [Eph 1:2]

Those already baptized by Christ with His salvation sealing eternally indwelling Holy Spirit.

Parsing vs 7; Believers are redeemed/saved/forgiven/pardoned from ALL their sins [Col 1:13, 14, 3:13, Eph 1:7,8, 1:17, 4:32, Rom 3:23-26, 4:7,8, Rev 1:5].

By placing their faith in Christ's sin atoning death & resurrection. A sinless Lord Jesus fulfilled/paid the laws required penalty/wage for every believer's sins. [Col 1:12, Eph 2:14]

All praise glory & honor belongs to our great God & Savor [Tit 2:13] Jesus the Christ. AMEM & Amen.
