Verse 12
God chose Jews to be believers for the praise of His glory (cf. Ephesians 1:6). This verse shows that the Jews are the "we" in view in Ephesians 1:11. The Jews were the first to put their trust in Jesus Christ (cf. Acts 1:8; Acts 13:46; Acts 28:25; Romans 1:16; Romans 2:9-10).
The work of the Son in salvation was setting the sinner free from his or her sin and revealing God’s plan to head up all things in Christ at the end of the ages. This includes the salvation of Jewish believers.
