It’s interesting one of John's primary messages is to subvert the idea that God is to be possessed by a particular few, or that God shows favouritism. Consider that, until Jesus came along, the Israelites considered themselves to be particularly favoured by God. Jesus’s mission to reach out to Gentiles, or non-Jews, was one of the more controversial components of his ministry.
The text in Ephesians plays a little bit of a balancing act, still touching on the theme of chosenness, while also establishing that we (meaning all of us) were chosen by God to be part of this family in which God sees us through the eyes of love, rendering our sinfulness impotent.
Another contrast between the themes in Ephesians and John and the themes in Jeremiah and the Psalm is that God's forgiveness, love, or light has nothing to do with the current state of things. In the prophecy and the psalm, the promises of good news is a sign of God's favour. In the latter two texts, God's wide-open forgiveness and decision to relate to all of us in a parental sort of love is the good news.
