Ephesians

 

Ephesians

On Paul’s second missionary journey, he visited Ephesus and left Aquila and Priscilla there. He returned to Ephesus two years later and ministered for three years. Some years later, when Paul was in prison in Rome, he wrote this letter to the believers in Ephesus.

Ephesus was an important city and boasted of being custodian of the temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world. The city was devoted to idolatry, which explains why Paul had so much to say about defeating the devil.

From the very first words, Paul details the spiritual blessings of every Christian. It records one blessing after another and the differences those blessings can make in our service, confidence, and fellowship with other believers.

God came after us and made us His own. Through Jesus, we have peace. Through Him we have everything we need to accomplish the work God has prepared for each of us and be secure in our standing with Him.

Those who study Ephesians and work to apply it to their lives will develop depth and stability in their souls. Maturity comes only by grace, so understanding that grace must become our lifelong passion.
