 And he continued to the Ephesians. Praise be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. He chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship. In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us. In eight verses you have, I am an apostle, blessed, chosen, blameless, predestined son, lavished and loved. No wonder the guy was happy.
