1-B, 2-A, 3-C
Explanation
### The pairs
| Item | Matches | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ephesians 1:7 | Redemption through Christ’s blood and forgiveness of offenses. | The verse directly connects redemption and forgiveness with Christ’s blood and God’s grace. |
| Romans 5:1 | Peace with God through justification by faith. | The verse says that those justified through faith have peace with God through Jesus Christ. |
| Ephesians 2:18 | Access to the Father through Christ by one Spirit. | The verse describes approach to the Father through Christ and by one Spirit. |
### The concept
The passages describe related but distinguishable effects. Redemption and forgiveness address release from sin and its offenses. Peace describes the restored relationship with God. Access describes the ability to approach the Father. All are presented as grounded in Christ’s work.
### Terms
- **Justification**: Being declared righteous and placed in right standing with God.
### Remember
Ask whether the verse emphasizes release, restored relationship, or approach to God.
