Ephesians

Paul in prison epistle: A.D 60

Theme:  The glorious church

Purpose: Ephesians unveils the mystery of the church as no other epistle.

God’s secret intention is revealed.

• To form a body to express Christ’s fullness on earth. [1 15 – 23]
• Doing so by uniting one people – both Jew and Gentile among whom God Himself dwells. [2: 11 – 3: 7]
• To equip and empower, and mature this people to the end that they extend Christ’s victory over evil [3:10 – 20; 6: 12 – 20].

F.Y.I.     Before the church is called to war, she is taught to walk,

             Before being called to walk the church is taught where she stands [EPHESIANS 4: 11 – 14]

V.I.P.   Seven-fold blessings bestowed on every believer [the church]

Ephesians 1: 4 – 13. see Psalm 103: 1 – 5

           Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ. Ephesians 1: 3, NKJV

We/ the body of Christ/You are:

Chosen

Blameless

Adopted

Accepted

Forgiven
